Series 3: Other Maps

Sixteen sheets of hand drawn maps in dark brown ink approximately 22.5 cm x 37 cm (15 maps) and one map of irregular shape 22.5/35.5 cm x 37 cm. The map papers have several watermarks: C. Wilmot 1822, E. Wise 1826, J. Whatman Balston & Co. 1826. The collection consists of twenty- one maps of North America’s Arctic regions, five maps of North Africa, and two assorted. All the maps appear to be made by the same hand and reflect British nineteenth century explorations. Some of the maps have an embossed seal of a crown and the word BATH on the map sheets.
