This volume provides a detailed catalogue of all the maps of Lincolnshire that show the county as a whole, from the first, issued by Christopher Saxton, in 1576, to 1900, by which time the provision of maps of the county was largely in the hands of the Ordnance Survey.
A detailed general essay outlines the history of the map-making as evidenced by the maps of Lincolnshire, and also provides much material on other maps, which reflect the various geographical changes in the county, such as the drainage of the fens, the building of canals and the coming of the railways. Town plans, geological and other natural history maps are touched on and references are provided to many local surveys and the work of their surveyors. This is followed by a complete record of all the county maps in chronological order, with detailed notes on the differences between the states of each plate, the titles of the books or atlases in which they were issued, and information on the location of copies of the maps, both in book/atlas form and as individual sheets.
The work provides a key for other map enthusiasts to the book and cartographic resources held in the national, university and local collections throughout the country. Each section is also equipped with notes on the surveyors, engravers, publishers and booksellers involved in the issue of each map, and the circumstances of publication; some idea is therefore gained of the ramifications of early publishing and the book and print trade. An appendix relates the road strip maps from the time of Ogilby’s first national survey (1675) to the maps prepared for cyclists at the end of the nineteenth century.
