Very Nice Specimen

Norfolk, Robert Morden 1722
33495 Norfolk, Robert Morden 1722. Price: 160.00
NORFOLK BY ROBT. MORDEN
A good engraved map of the county divided into hundreds and showing the roads. Decorative title cartouche. Three scales. Imprint of the publishers Abel Swale with Awnsham and John Churchill. Original centre fold and two additional original folding creases. This map along with the map of Kent are much larger than the other maps in the atlas. This map was bound into a 1695 edition of Camden’s Britannia but I am guessing that it might have been bound in later to replace a missing map. Hence I have dated it as 1722. 22 x 14 inches, 575 x 370 mm. Uncoloured. A very nice and pleasing specimen in good clean condition.
