Item description from seller

Third State Map (vertical) 59.0 x 44.0cm, 23.25 x 17.5 inches The third edition 1975 of J. L. CarrÕs whimsical pictorial miscellany map of Suffolk, published in 1975 from his home-based at 27 Mill Dale Road, Kettering. One of 775 sheets issued, this example is numbered 683 and is signed by J L Carr "CarrÕs county maps, produced between 1966 and 1982, are whimsical and deliberately non-navigational, conceived as visual anthologies of collective memory that link place with local history, anecdote, folklore, and notable figures rather than practical geography. Densely populated with portraits, buildings, ships, coats of arms, historical scenes, and marginal texts, the map weaves together history, literature, religion, and legend in CarrÕs characteristically antiquarian and deeply personal style. Printed and distributed privately, it forms part of the distinctive body of work associated with the Quince Tree Press, now recognised as a singular contribution to post-war British pictorial cartography." Carr notes; This map is dedicated to Henry Kersey of Ipswich,a tinker who made his house his transport, his shelter and his advertisement. His six children were born in the coffee pot. His address was Peregrination House and he asked represent Suffolk folk who are well-known as a hard-working, ingenious and resourceful lot.' At the foot of the map is it quotation from Suffolk writer Edward Fitzgerald translation of Omar Khayyam: 'The moving finger writes.' Fine.
