Map, hand coloured engraving, perspective view, A Map of
Westmorland, North from London, by George Bickham, James
Street, Bunhill Fields, London, 1753.
The map, plate 37, and the attached descriptive text were included in The British Monarchy or a New Chorographical Description of all the Dominions Subject to the King of Great Britain, issued in parts from 1743. Any attempt to 'undo' the perspective and make a plan diagram will fail. |
