Warwickshire Maps

15x23 cm

This series of county maps are uniquely engraved on a woodblock and the ink applied to the block leaving the engraved lines and letters free of ink resulting in a white image on a black ground. The maps appeared in The Guide to Knowledge. Edited by W. Pinnock, a weekly production, published from 1833 by W. Edwards. The maps were later printed more conventionally by lithographic transfer and published by Thomas Johnson in Johnson's Atlas of England in 1847 & 1863.
Good example from Pinnock's publication.
