Book Description

A very attractive and detailed plan of Cambridge, published in Gostling’s ‘Walk in and about the City of Canterbury’. With two insets of ‘The Old Church of St. Andrew’ and ‘North View of St. Augustine’s Monastery’, two coat-of-arms and a decorative cartouche with scroll work. Gostling’s work was first published in 1774 with a later publication in 1825 (see BL: BLL01014811903). - It seems that this map is based on a map by Doidge/Hilton of 1752 which is larger (58.3 x 75.0 cm) and shows an extensive key (see BL 004814680); the two insets are missing and there is a third coat-of-arms; the cartouche is in a different style. # 4745
