 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.

 PRICE £12 (plus £2 p & p if required)
