Jefferys 1775

|
|
Road strip maps with sections in Hampshire, scales about 1.5 miles to 1 inch?
derived from maps by Ogilby, 1675, and by John Senex, 1719 and 1757, published
by Thomas Jeffery, London, 1775.
|
|
Published in 'Jefferys's Itinerary; or Travellers Companion, Through
England, Wales, and Part of Scotland, Containing All the Direct and Principal
Cross Roads; with the Addition of every New Road. Carefully collected from all
the actual Surveys hitherto published. Improved with many thousand names of
places more than are in any similar publication. To which are added Copious
Indexes to all the Roads and Places mentioned in the work, with their exact
Distance from London. London, Printed for R. Sayer and J. Bennett, Map and Print
Sellers, No.53, Fleet-Street. MDCCLXXV.' ie 1775. |
|
The maps are newly engraved, though based on Senex's road 1757, which ultimately
derive from Ogilby's work, 1675. The strips are rectangular, no longer scrolls,
with a plain rectangular title cartouche. The road book has indexes to places,
towns, and roads, a general map of post roads. |
