In about 1678 Herman Moll, a German, came to London & initially worked as an engraver for other publishers. He soon set up his own business publishing atlases & also separate maps of all parts of the world. His work was varied, ranging from miniature maps to large, very decorative, wall maps. This map of Huntingdonshire is illustrated with antiquarian discoveries, Roman coins in this instance. It was published, as part of a fine series of county maps, in the New Description of England of 1724. The county maps from this atlas are famous for their side panels with drawings of architectural remains from the area shown. Antique maps from various original publishers are presented on the Stanford
