Original Antique Map

CAMBRIDGESHIRE

by

  J. & C. Walker

Published by Longman,  Reese, Orme, & Co. London circa 1870  for 

"Hobson's Fox - Hunting Atlas...."

An attractive and decorative,  lithographed antique county map of Cambridge with contemporary hand colouring.

Hobson used maps printed from the Walkers' lithographic plates, and added features relevant to fox-hunting, the territory of each hunt is outlined in colour  and the places of meets are indicated by black spots.

Also featuring a scale of English miles. The high level of detail is outstanding, and includes roads, railways , rivers and relief, as can be seen by scrolling right down to the close  up image provided.

 In fine, virtually unmarked condition save for very slight splitting to the extreme ends of the original centrfold.

 Printed on heavy grade  paper, blank verso. The map would present very well indeed when framed. 

Approx. 15.5" x 12.5" (390mm x 315mm) map area only with margins beyond as seen.
