An attractive and detailed map of the County of Durham which was originally produced by Robert Morden in 1695 and published in Camden’s Britannia (London: 1695-1772).

The maps are also notable for using up to three different mileage scales, none of which are based on the statute mile! This is an original copperplate engraving with later hand colour. Printed area is approximately 42.2cms by 36.3cms. The map is in very good condition with decent margins; centrefold, as issued. Click on image for a better view.
