Bristol by G. C. Ashmead 1871 with Hand Annotations for the Proposed Railway Network 

 Reduced from the Original Survey and corrected to 1871. Fine engraved plan on three conjoined sheets, calligraphic title and table of references, Scale approx. 1" to 1 furlong. With Reference tables of Public Buildings, Schools, Almshouses, Dissenting Chapels, Principal inns and Hotels etc.

This unique version of the map is a more scarce undisected copy, which has been inscribed and annotated in pencil and watercolour, depicting proposed railway lines and stations for the city, some of which were ultimately never built! Quite possibly the original property of a Victorian railway engineer, as, at the bottom left there are some pencil costings relating to the proposed developments, in one case totalling over £41,000!

Herman Moll (fl. 1688-1732)

Herman Moll by William Stukeley (1723)

Believed to be Dutch engraver, Moll's exact place of origin is unknown, although his birth year is generally accepted to be the year 1654. He came to England about 1678 and by the end of the seventeenth century had set up his own business and become a leading geographer and publisher. He produced many maps of all parts of the world, ranging from roads to continents and was associated with Greenville Collins and John Seller. He produced maps from his studies of the work of other cartographers. Due to his important work in Netherlands' cartography and the fact that he undertook a journey in his late years on behalf of the Netherlands, it is assumed he originated from Amsterdam or Rotterdam. The name, "Moll" occurred not only in the Netherlands however but also in the northern part of Germany.
