[London] : sold by Abel Swale, Awnsham & Iohn Churchill, [1695]. A rare separately published state of the first issue of Morden's map of the West Riding, originally produced for the 1695 edition of "Camden's Britannia", but here dissected, mounted on linen, and folding into (eighteenth century) marbled guards, with a manuscript label. Morden's maps from this series have not previously been recorded in this form. On their first appearance they were advertised as being "much the fairest and most correct of any that have yet appear'd" and the help of "knowing gentlemen" in each part of the country had been sought "to supply the defects, rectifie the positions, and correct false spellings".
Copper line engraving on paper. Engraved surface 360 x 420mm (approx. 14-1/8" x 16-1/2"). Some mild tanning and slight discolouration; faint wear to edges; paper lifting from linen in a few places, but in very good state for an ephemeral item of this type.

SOLD

Steel line engraving on paper. Later hand colour. Engraved surface 199 x 268mm (approx. 7-7/8" x 10-5/8"). A few very faint marks, but still in very good and clean state. A guaranteed genuine antique map.
