We have a selection of county maps of Cheshire and city plans of Chester. From the 17th to 19th century, some are hand coloured. The very decorative map by Thomas Moule features his usual heraldic representations of the prominent families in the county. Emanuel Bowen's map are a cartographic tour-de-force with text relating to the commerce, agriculture and history of Cheshire with a vignette of Chester Cathedral. Thomas Jenner's Mid 17th century county map of Cheshire, published during the Civil War, features Norden's mileage chart, place names include Chester, Macclesfield, Nantwich. Compass and scale to centre bottom, scarce. Additionally there is the highly decorative, Georgian city map of Chester.
