MAP OF THE County OF NORTHUMBERLAND, from an Actual Survey made in the years 1827 & 1828

Large and attractive map of Northumberland with a detailed and decorative vignette view of Alnwick Castle upper left. During the eighteenth century each county map was a separate project sponsored by the local gentry. By 1800 nearly all English counties had been surveyed. In the early nineteenth century two enterprises attempted to survey all the English counties: the brothers Christopher and John Greenwood, and Andrew Bryant. This map comes from the Greenwoods atlas, which was published in parts, but was never completed.

Good condition; stain to upper right; vertical crease to bottom left.
