CRH1964.110:-
|
Map, photograph copy from an unidentified original, the New Forest of
Hampshire, scale about 1.5 miles to 1 inch in the copy, perhaps about
1810s-20s.

|
There are suggestions that the map maker knew the 1st edition Ordnance Survey
hill shading methods, 1810-11, and used Faden 1796 as a model of style and place
names, but did not have Greenwood's map of 1826 to hand. From comparison it is
clear that Isaac Taylor's map of Hampshire, 1759, was the main source of this
map which could, in the original, be a manuscript drawing or perhaps an etching.
