Ramble, Reuben (pseud.) [Clarke, Rev. Samuel]; Crabb, Thomas (cart.)
Fourteen county maps from Reuben Ramble's Travels through the Counties of England, c.1850. Hand-coloured lithographic transfers with vignette borders, mounted.
Attractive county maps from a rarely surviving Georgian textbook. Clarke's intention was to bring children to the study of the geography of their native land through interesting scenes around the maps. The original maps were performed by Thomas Crabb in 1819 as copperplate engravings, first for playing cards, then a miniature atlas.

Estimated at £250 - £350
