East Wales and West Midlands 1897
East Wales and West Midlands in a series of nine sheets from Old House Books covering England and Wales and reproducing mapping originally published in 1897 in The Royal English Atlas to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. Each map comes with a small booklet describing Victorian Britain and is presented in a protective envelope.Reproduced at a scale of 4 miles to one inch and predominantly in black and white, the maps show rivers, woodlands and main roads in colour, with county boundaries also highlighted by colouring. Railway lines are shown with stations. Topography is presented by old style hachuring, which so vividly depicts more hilly and mountainous terrain, and plenty of names of geographical features are included. In the coastal waters bathymetric contours and sandbanks are marked. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 10` and 5` intervals respectively.
