BOOK - The Antique County
Maps of Cumberland by John Higham
Published 1997 by
Bookcase, Carlisle - ISBN 0 951 992 08 0
Second Impression 2003
This 128 page A4 softback book tells the story of the printed maps of
Cumberland from the first published
map of the county by Christopher
Saxton in 1579 to the Ordnance Survey maps of the 1860s, with sections
on later 19th century maps, road maps, town plans, etc.
There are descriptions of some 150 different
maps, over 130 of which are
illustrated, making this an invaluable work of reference for the map
collector as well as for anyone with a general interest in the history
of the county of Cumberland.
As the maps described were, for the most part, published for each
English county,
the book can also
be used as a general reference book
for other counties where specialist publications do not exist.
