Essex

genuine antique map published by Francis Grose in his 

"The Antiquities of England & Wales"

1783-1787

This map detached from a disbound volume which was inscribed as from the library of the Bishop of Lichfield. That could have been Samuel Butler or else the Bishop Cornwallis who succeeded to the title of Earl Cornwallis.

Grose used the 1695 maps of John Seller.

This particular map has rather attractive later hand-colouring. They look wonderful when mounted and framed.

Image size 145x140 plus wide margins.
