Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 48 pages with 19 colour maps & plans (22 x 29 cms), each with text to the rear. Publisher's original blue boards, spine with gilt lettering, and dustwrapper. All in good condition, with mildly worn dustwrappers. The maps used in this edition appeared originally in Thomas M…oule's English Counties Delineated, 1830-36. The exquisite Victorian maps depicting England's counties and cities, presented in a large format, are the work of the esteemed British cartographer Thomas Moule. Thomas Moule is celebrated as one of the premier mapmakers of the Victorian era and is recognized as a true successor to John Speed in the annals of British cartography. His meticulously crafted maps of counties and cities serve as a detailed historical record of 19th-century England. Initially released in collectible segments from 1830 to 1837, these maps were later compiled into the comprehensive two-volume work titled The English Counties Delineated. Moule honored the antiquity and heritage of each county by incorporating pastoral and monument views within the maps, all elegantly framed by cartouches, festoons, and architectural embellishments in various historical styles. The bookãããs introduction outlines Mouleãããs career as a writer and antiquarian, situating his renowned maps within the context of the technical cartographic advancements of his time. It explores the diverse artistic and cultural influences reflected in Mouleãããs work, where he merges precise cartography with ornate architectural frames and evocative, Romantic pastoral scenes of the England he cherished. However, beneath this portrayal of antiquity lies the influence of the British Industrial Revolution. Mouleãããs maps are significantly shaped by the pioneering efforts of the Ordnance Survey and document the relentless expansion of major cities and the rapid proliferation of railways.
