Bedfordshire
Uncoloured copper engraving by Robert Morden, published circa 1720.
Dimensions: 15 1/2" x 17 1/2", including margins.
Generally good condition throughout. Original vertical fold as issued, some light time-staining and off-setting, as expected.
A spartan early eighteenth century map of Bedfordshire, with the striking cartouche being the most dominant feature. The stylised buildings, trees and hills are charmingly represented whilst the Great Ouse flows through the landscape like a ribbon.
£90.00 unmounted, unframed
