13 maps from the Walker’s County Maps series, variously dated between 1835 and 1845 (only Durham is undated). Each approximately 42 x 34 cm, dissected into 15 parts, mounted onto linen and folded into pebbled cloth covers (approx 12.5 x 9 cm) in shades of mainly green and brown. Decorative printed paper title labels to upper boards. Principal roads are marked in colour and county boundaries are hand coloured in outline. Useful information tables to inner front covers showing town populations, market days etc and distance tables. Covers only very lightly rubbed to edge; initials of former owner inscribed to linen verso of each. A little minor toning and foxing otherwise a remarkably clean set. Near Fine. Each map is scarce, so it is unusual to find a run of Walker’s County Maps obviously having been together since they were printed, especially in such uniformly fine condition. £650.00
