The East Riding Of Yorkshire, an original antique map by R. Morden published in London, 1695-1722-. Copperplate, coloured. Map size 43 x 36 cm, overall mounted size 58.5 x 52 cm. An attractive & popular map of the east riding of Yorkshire. Considering the popularity & success of Camden's Britannia, first issued with maps in 1607, it is surprising that it was not until the end of the seventeenth century that a new edition was prepared.

Morden's first series of maps were rejected as being too small, & these were later published in Morden's New Description & State of Engl&, first issued in 1701, & subsequently re-issued in Cox's Magna Britannia, in the 1720s. Morden finally produced a new set of maps on a larger scale which were used in Gibson's editions published in 1695, 1722 as here, circa 1730, 1753 & 1772. The maps were based on the most up-to-date surveys where available, although some drew on Saxton & Speed, & were engraved by Sutton Nicholls & John Sturt. The maps are plain & simple, invariably with decorative title surround, & charmingly engraved. Their detail, convenient size, visual attraction & antiquity make them among the most popular of all early county maps. Antique maps from various original publishers are presented on the Stanford ...
