Vintage Saxton ' S Map Of England & Wales 1579 Print 1971 British Library Taylowe
Item History & Price
The print comes from a Tudor atlas of 35 coloured maps depicting the counties of England and Wales. Originally published as a collection in 1579, this volume is a landmark in British cartography and printing. Christopher Saxton was responsible for producing the maps and his work provided a new standard of cartographic representation in Britain. This atlas formed the basis for all succeeding county maps for over one hundred years. The survey began in 1574 and 34 county maps were subsequently printed separately until completion in 1578. The general map and all the county maps were first issued as an atlas in 1579.
