Item description from seller

Sussex - Rare separately issued map of Sussex Engraved map with outline hand colouring, on two sheets joined, loss to upper left corner skilfully supplied in facsimile. Rare separately issued map of Sussex. This large two sheet map is a reduction of Budgen's large-scale map of the county first published in 1724 - the first large-scale map of the county. A detailed key to the upper right provides information on market towns, disused habitations, Gentleman's Seats, manor of farm houses, castles, ruins abbeys, priorys etc., furnaces, forges, watermills, smiths forges, camps, heaths, mineral waters, stone quarries, woodland, commons, rocks, sands, boundaries of county, rapes, deanries, hundreds, navigable rivers, and 'parts abounding most with Oak Timber. To the sea around the Selsey peninsula are depicted shoals, rocks, and numerous soundings. Above the map are two fine prospects of Lewes from the south and Chichester from the north. Although not dated Kingsley in his comprehensive survey of maps of Sussex, date the work to around 1726, due to the fact that Philip Overton and Thomas Bowles published a map of Essex, Middlesex, and Hertfordshire in 1726, similar in size to the present map with the same style border. As with all separately issued maps Overton's map of Sussex is rare, with OCLC recording five institutional examples. Kingsley records a further example housed in the Bodleian. Scale: 1/2 to one mile. Roger 454; Kingsley 26.
