Cambridgeshire Maps

18x23 cm

CAMBRIDGESHIRE
Drawn by R.Creighton. | ENGRAVED FOR LEWIS' TOPOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY. | J.&C.Walker Sculp^t. 
Copper engraving, probably by the firm of J & C Walker, from a drawing by Roger Creighton issued in A Topographical dictionary of England… published by Samuel Lewis and Co. from 1831. The work achieved considerable success and was re-issued many times by Lewis until 1849. During this time the maps were amended and updated to include electoral information and the rapidly expanding railway network, with most counties known in at least six different states.
Good example from the first edition of 1831. Good line & wash hand colour.
