Vignette lower right corner View of Belvoir Castle, The Seat of His Grace The Duke of Rutland engraved by Creighton. Explanation, reference and scale.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, 3 inch split on top margin. Repaired on verso.
