ARTIST/CARTOGRAPHER/ENGRAVER: Engraved by Herman Moll. Herman Moll (1654? – 22 September 1732) was a London cartographer, engraver, and publisher.
PROVENANCE: A plate published in Moll's 'A New Description of England and Wales' or 'A Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales' (the maps were used in both publications). By 1750 the plates had their vignettes on the sides removed and were re-published in Moll's 'British Atlas' and finally by John Bowles in 'The Traveller's Companion'. So this example was printed between 1724 and 1750.
TYPE: Antique copper plate engraving printed on laid paper.
VERSO: There is nothing printed on the reverse side, which is blank.
CONDITION: Good. Suitable for framing. Please check the scan for any blemishes prior to making your purchase. Virtually all antiquarian maps and prints are subject to some normal aging due to use and time which is not significant unless otherwise stated.
