Large scale folding wall map of Surrey with a large vignette of Kew Palace on the upper left.
This is part of the series of extraordinary wall maps of English counties by the Greenwood brothers. Based on new, exhaustive surveys and engraved and hand coloured in a uniform way, they were luxurious objects marketed to the newly wealthy Georgian public. The whole project was initiated in 1817 and by 1831, the brothers had completed surveys and published 34 counties.
The whole process and quality of the engraving and colouring was the height of luxury for county maps of the age and spawned multiple competitors such as Henry Teesdale and Andrew Bryant. Sadly, probably due to the competition and the use of new surveys, the project was not a financial success and was not finished.
This example is particularly vibrant and the vignette of Kew Palace on the upper left is very strong.
Original colour. Hardback case included. Folded. [SURREY608]
