Description

“The County of Monmouth,” originally crafted by cartographer Robert Morden in 1695, is a captivating hand-colored map that stands out for its historical and artistic significance. This particular edition, reproduced in Camden’s Britannia around 1722, offers a glimpse into the cartographic practices of the early 18th century. The map is particularly remarkable for its use of three distinct mileage scales, a feature that underscores the meticulous attention to detail and the precision that was essential for navigation and travel during the period. The vibrant hand colouring enhances the visual appeal, making it not only a valuable tool for understanding the geography of Monmouth County but also a striking piece of art that captures the essence of the landscape in a bygone era.

  • MaterialPaper, Wood, Glass

  • SizeH 51.5 cm (20 in) x W 56.5 cm (22 in)

To prevent degradation, antique paper should be kept away from direct sunlight, framed using acid-free materials with UV-protective glazing, and maintained in stable humidity conditions.

These pieces can be mounted with conservation-grade framing and integrated into traditional or transitional schemes, often displayed singly as a focal point or in a curated gallery wall arrangement.

Authenticity is assessed by examining paper characteristics such as chain lines and watermarks, plate mark impressions, typographical features, and the presence of genuine age-related toning rather than modern digital reproduction dots.

Authentic maps from this period were typically printed from copperplate engravings onto laid rag paper, and many examples featured hand-applied water-colour tinting.

Robert Morden was a notable English cartographer and publisher best known for his county maps published in Edmund Gibsons 1695 edition of William Camdens Britannia, which continued to be printed and updated into the early 18th century.
