Original Hand-Colored Antique Map of the County of Hereford in England, 1804

About the Item

Antique county map of Herefordshire first published c.1800. Villages, towns, and cities illustrated Avenbury, Ashpurton, Kineton, and Bromyard. Charles Smith was a cartographer working in London from circa 1800. His maps were finely engraved on copper and featured beautiful hand colouring. The county maps were initially issued as single sheets for travelers from 1800. These were generally laid down on cloth to prolong what would for them be a hard and generally quite a short life on the road. In 1804 they were published as an atlas, Smith's New English Atlas.
