https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/london-fine-antiquesThis is an antique county map of Huntingdonshire. An English, atlas reproduction of the Thomas Moule original, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1900.
Appealing mid 19th century cartography, reproduced in the late Victorian period
Displaying a desirable aged patina and in good order
Presented behind clear, bright glass with a cream card border
Later frame with gilt accents and dressed with hanging wire to the reverse
Eye-catching cartography, as expected of the renowned Thomas Moule (1784 - 1851)
Gives excellent detail to Huntingdonshire, which held individual county status until 1974
Accentuated with decorative, figural borders and heraldic emblems, a Moule hallmark
Tastefully hand coloured borders, points of interest and decoration adds visual appeal
Pair of delightful vignettes, showing Hinchingbrook House and Brampton Park
Charming foliate patterns accentuate the title, set upon a sash to the head of the map
Reference is given to the Hundreds, an administrative boundary in use until the late 19th century
George Virtue included these Moule maps in James Barclay's Complete & Universal English Dictionary
This edition likely featured within a later print run of the reference volume
This is a wonderful antique Huntingdonshire county map, with a finely detailed and quality Victorian reproduction of the Thomas Moule original. A treat for area residents, descendants or collectors. Delivered ready to display.
