Antique Map of the County of Devonshire - South West England - Description of England and Wales
A detailed and highly decorative 18th century map of Devonshire by Herman Moll. Probably from the second edition of A New Description of England and Wales dated circa 1724. It features archeological and historical illustrations to the borders, including the first two versions of the Edystone Lighthouse. Herman Moll (fl. 1688-1732) was a Dutch engraver who came to England in about 1680, and by the end of the seventeenth century, had set up his own business and become a leading geographer and publisher. He produced many maps of all parts of the world, ranging from roads to continents and was associated with Greenville Collins and John Seller.
The work is in good condition overall. There may be a few minor imperfections or fox or mottled marks to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
Dimensions: 32 cm x 20 cm; Date: 1724
