Shows the five large meres: Trundle, Brik, Ugg, Ramsey and the largest, Whittlesea, which extended to around 3000 acres – plus Benwick Mere, just over the border in Cambridgeshire. By the mid nineteenth century all were under the plough. A few very faint creases do not detract from a beautifully engraved and coloured example from one of the finest map makers of his day.

A clearly engraved, attractively coloured map of Huntingdonshire showing ‘ every parish and place containing upwards of 20 houses ‘ as well as numbers of inhabitants, houses and acreages. Although this map is from the 1813 edition it retains the the imprint of R.Philips, Bridge Street, Blackfriars and the original date of publication of 1808; it is, however, a most unusual example in that, contrary to most sources, the engraver’s name has been removed.

Scarce miniature map with notes on the county ; for example ‘The Fenny part …is a little aguish’.

An attractive, uncommon map.

A charming miniature map of the south east corner of the British Isles, carefully backed on matching paper to provide additional margins for mounting and framing.
