Large hand coloured 4 sheet map, 1530 x 1260 mm. dissected and mounted on linen, folded into a cloth case. a little wear to some folds. Paper label to cover lettered in manuscript “Fowler’s (1834) [sic] Map of Yorkshire shewing where the Members of the West Riding Constabulary are stationed [key] Superintendents, Inspectors, Sergeants, Constables.”
Dealer Notes
Although the ms label states 1834, this is an error since it is dedicated to Queen Victoria who ascended the throne in 1837. Little is known of Charles Fowler; he was active from c. 1819 until at least 1844 and produced the maps for Baines’ 2 volume History, Directory & Gazetteer, of the County of York [1822/3], as well as assorted local town plans and estate surveys.
In over 45 years dealing with Yorkshire material I have never previously seen this map and can trace no other copy on any of the usual databases or past auction records.
