Bilder C.J. Greenwood (fl. 1820s–1830s) – Map of the County of Gloucester from an Actual Survey – Hand-Coloured Engraving (1831)

Beskrivning

This finely detailed hand-coloured map of Gloucestershire was produced by Christopher Greenwood and published in 1831 as part of his renowned atlas of England and Wales. Based on a meticulous actual survey, the map highlights roads, rivers, towns, and elevation with precision, employing delicate linework and period watercolour borders. A decorative vignette of Gloucester Cathedral adorns the lower-left corner, adding visual and architectural interest.

Greenwood’s work is considered among the most accurate and artistically refined cartographic achievements of the early 19th century, offering both geographic clarity and aesthetic sophistication. His maps remain important historical records of Britain’s counties prior to Victorian modernization.
