A Plan of the Ancient City of Canterbury in the County of Kent A.D. MDCCLXXVII

Descripción

copper engraved map; overall 32 x 42 cm; no distinctive platemarks, folds as issued; a small repaired marginal tear; repaired tear in cross fold; some discolouration; plate slightly rubbed in places; small ink spot on verso; o/w vg cond. A very attractive and detailed plan of Cambridge, published in Gostling s Walk in and about the City of Canterbury . With two insets of The Old Church of St. Andrew and North View of St. Augustine s Monastery , two coat-of-arms and a decorative cartouche with scroll work. Gostling s work was first published in 1774 with a later publication in 1825 (see BL: BLL01014811903). It seems that this map is based on a map by Doidge/Hilton of 1752 which is larger (58.3 x 75.0 cm) and shows an extensive key (see BL 004814680); the two insets are missing and there is a third coat-of-arms; the cartouche is in a different style.
