The County Of Monmouth, an original antique map by R. Morden published in London, 1695-172-. Copperplate, coloured. Map size 43 x 36 cm, overall mounted size 58 x 51 cm. An attractive & popular map of Monmouth. Considering the popularity & success of Camden's Britannia, first issued with maps in 1607, it is surprising that it was not until the end of the seventeenth century that a new edition was prepared. Robert Morden (d.1703) was commissioned to engrave a set of county maps for Edmund Gibson's new edition. Morden's first series of maps were rejected as being too small, & these were later published in Morden's New Description & State of Engl&, first issued in 1701, & subsequently re-issued in Cox's Magna Britannia, in the 1720s. Morden finally produced a new set of maps on a larger scale which were used in Gibson's editions published in 1695, 1722 as here, circa 1730, 1753 & 1772. The maps were based on the most up-to-date surveys where available, although some drew on Saxton & Speed, & were engraved by Sutton Nicholls & John Sturt. The maps are plain & simple, invariably with decorative title surround, & charmingly engraved. Their detail, convenient size, visual attraction & antiquity make them among the most popular of all early county maps. Antique maps from various original publishers are presented on the Stanford ...

Borough towns are shown with stars identifying the number of members returned to parliament & Places where Fairs are kept have a Line under the Name thus. Ellis (d.1796) was a prolific English engraver of the late eighteenth century who joined with William Palmer to produce a set of English county maps, published in Ellis' New English Atlas, in 1765. The maps were later used in Ellis' English Atlas; or a Complete Cartography of England & Wales published in 1766, & reprinted in 1768
- this map comes from the 1768 edition. Ellis engraved some of the maps himself, while others were engraved by Louis de la Rochette, Palmer & W. Fowler. The maps themselves were closely based on Kitchin's maps from Dodsley's England Illustrated. Ellis' atlases were very popular, being often reprinted, as the maps are clearly & distinctively engraved with decorative title cartouches.
