These 60 fascinating, decorative, and hugely informative maps capture England's counties and key cities at a time when the Industrial Revolution and burgeoning railways were transforming the country. Even as Moule provided a minutely detailed record of these changes, he also celebrated the past through pastoral or monument views that are framed with the cartouches, festoons, and architectural ornament common during this period. Along with contemporary descriptions and extracts, the book explores Moule's career as a mapmaker and positions him alongside fellow Victorian pioneers including Brunel, Wedgewood, Bradshaw, Turner, Pugin, Blake, Scott, and Wordsworth.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'This large format volume is stupendous.'</p>--<i><b>Lets Talk!</b></i><br><br><p>'This large-format map book perfectly exemplifies Victorian artistry in its awe-inspiring meticulousness.'</p>--<i><b>Geographical</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Thomas Moule (1784-1851) is principally remembered for his major contribution to cartography and celebrated as one of the great makers of maps of the British Isles.
