Rare maps of English counties
Rare antique maps of England for sale. Clive A. Burden Ltd. offers a wide range of authentic old maps of the English counties, regions, cities and towns. These genuine printed maps range from the earliest English county map printed by Saxton in the sixteenth century to the late nineteenth century, and many are hand-coloured. These rare maps include English county maps on a large-scale printed from the eighteenth century and sea charts recording with increased accuracy England as it evolved through the industrial revolution. This is most notable with town plans, and birds-eye views recorded in great detail.
