Book Description

Historic Canterbury. A map drawn by Estra Clark, printed and published by Waterlow, London 1952. On paper size 50 by 37 cm. The map shows the city as it might appear from above in a third dimension so that the streets and buildings are seen in relief. There are notes on their origins and importance in history beside each feature. Includes a decorative cartouche with the title, a compass rose and a vignette of Chaucer’s Canterbury pilgrims. The map covers an area from the west station across to St. Martin’s church in the north and from the churches of St. Johns and Jesus in the north to the main station on the London to Dover line in the south. Estra Clark was a Yorkshire-born teacher and artist who specialised in creating maps that were amusing and informative, capturing the optimism of the post war period. Uncoloured with a decorative border. Good to VG condition.
