Uncoloured map of Essex taken from “The Large English Atlas” by Emmanuel Bowen and Thomas Kitchin, first published in 1749 and considered to be among the finest English county maps of the 18th century. As with most maps from this atlas, all available space is filled with detailed notes and descriptions of the history and topography of the county and its towns. Blank verso. The map has some repairs for old folds with minor loss and replacement; otherwise, a strong dark impression on heavy paper in very good condition. 52.5 cm x 70.5 cm
