| Large scale county maps |
|
|
In the 18th Century, with the improvement of the roads, travelling became easier and people began to be interested in the country around them. This led to a demand for large scale maps which was met by a sequence of beautiful County Maps, mostly at a scale of 2 inches to a mile; a scale that permitted the recording of almost every building then existing. These maps were presented as sets of sections that could be assembled. Reproduction of maps of the counties have been published as part of an expanding series. The reproductions are presented as sets of loose sheets, bound flat between thin card covers or case bound and printed on high quality paper.
