Beschreibung

A very scarce copy of this topographical work on the county of York, produced by the former royal geographer to King George III. A very scarce work. This work was produced to accompany a 'New Topographical Map of York' which was published alongside it. This list references to the location of the villages and towns on the map, as well as giving information about which Riding of Yorkshire the location is in, the local Parish, and the wapentake of the location. The list is smartly laid out, having the borough and market town in capitals, parishes, townships, hamlets and villages in Roman print, and houses, parks, farms, halls, and ruins being in italics. William Faden was the royal geographer to King George III, it being his job to supply and publish maps to the crown and parliament. His best known work is possibly his plan of New York Island. In the original paper covered boards. Externally, generally sound. Light markings to the boards, mostly focused to the front board. A little rubbing to the paper to the joints, which has resulted in just a little loss. Minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Front hinge is starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean with scattered spotting, being heavier to the first and last few pages. Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 615P32
