In den WarenkorbVery good. Overall age toning. Minor spotting at places. Size 16 x 13 Inches. This is a fine example of Thomas Cowperthwait and S. A. Mitchell's 1854 map of England. It covers all of England from Northumberland in the north to Cornwall in the south. Two insets in the upper left and right quadrants depict the environs of Liverpoo…l and London, respectively. A small inset of the Scilly Islands is featured in the lower left quadrant. The whole is engraved in Mitchell's distinctive style with green border work and vivid pastels. Political and topographical features are noted and color coded with elevation rendered by hachure. During this time, both England and Wales were in the midst of the Industrial Revolution, wherein much of the rural agricultural population was relocating to urban centers. This map was prepared by S. A. Mitchell for publication as plate no. 46 by the Philadelphia firm of Thomas Cowperthwait and Co. in the 1854 edition of Mitchell's New General Atlas . References: Rumsey 3803.050.
