Item description from seller

Contemporary slipcase with amateur label to front: 'England June 24 1797'. Base split with loss and partly repaired: generally in poor condition. Folded map mounted in 16 sections on yellow hessian and with a little fraying to edges. Trimmed to borders with the left edge trimmed at an angle. Some thinning to folds and junctions but with one area to centre of map a little discoloured. England and Wales coloured according to approximate regions, with further bold lines used as county borders. Some inking in of routes travelled: seems to be in the same ink as the label and go through Scotland, Wales and much of England. A couple of pencil notations: one below the scale being a small flower sketch and (very faint) a reference to Paterson's Roads. The other in Scotland being a list of towns. Further small pencil mark at Dumfries (? [.] Smith Post House). Some landscape features: woods, marshes, hachuring. Sea regions and some coastal features in German. Translation of the title implies that the design of the map was based on examples by Cary, Rocque, Kitchin and Campbell with the final map being by Conrad Mannert. Published by Adam Gottlieb: Schneider and Weigel Nurnberg 1796. The date on the slipcase is interesting in that it is a few months after the failed invasion of England by French revolutionary forces on the Welsh coast in February 1797. On mainland Europe, in 1796, when this map was produced, the area around Nurnberg was under attack by the French revolutionary forces, who were ultimately forced to retreat. Sheet size open: 54.5cm by 66.2cm approx. (non237med).
