Map of Hampshire, with the Isle of Wight, scale about 1 inch to 1 mile, by Isaac Taylor, 1759.

Published as a 6 sheet map; this the first map of the county at this useful scale.
The map has an inset plan of Silchester; and vignettes of Silchester, Portchester Castle, Carisbrook Castle, Netley Abbey, etc.
A reproduction of the map was published at 3/4 size, small enough to make the lettering hard to read, by the Hampshire Field Club and Archaeological Society, 1933.
