Map, hand coloured engraving, Cross Roads from One Great Town to another
through England and Wales, scale about 71 miles to 1 inch, by Thomas Badeslade,
engraved and published by William Henry Toms, 1742.
|
|
The map is from the beginning of an atlas; it shows the cross roads joining
towns in England and Wales; the map looks a little strange out of its context,
lacking the principal roads; there is a table of distances between towns in
computed and measured miles.
