Add to basketMap. Condition: Good. First Edit. Uncoloured map. Size : 620 x 490 mm (from the plate marks). A single sheet from Donn's highly important large-scale atlas of twelve maps surveying the whole County of Devon. This was the first large-scale map published of any county, pre-dating the Ordnance Survey by many years. These accurate a…nd beautifully engraved maps are remarkably clearly defined. They represent a major contribution to the history of cartography as the first published large scale map of any county. This sheet contains the large dedication vignette in the upper half of the map. Short closed tear.The map on thick laid paper has at some time been stored rolled, so now has a rather pronounced centre fold. I suspect if it is going to be framed it witll flaten out if put behind glass.
