Nottinghamshire Maps

17x15 cm

UNCOMMON. ALSO KNOWN AS "OSBORNE MAPS".

A Correct MAP of NOTTINGHAM SHIRE.
Copper engraving published in Geographia Magnae Britanniae… by Thomas Osborne, Andrew Millar, et.al. Although unsigned, the engraver was almost certainly Thomas Hutchinson (fl.1733-1754) who signed the maps of England and Wales and Gloucestershire in the same publication of uniformly engraved maps. Geogrphiae Magnae Brtanniae… was first published in 1748 and published only once more, with no changes to the maps, still dated 1748 but actually issued in 1756. The maps appeared in no other publication and are uncommon today.
 This map of Nottingham has some archival tissue repairs to chipping at margins but remains a good hand coloured example of an uncommon map.
