Description

Original copper engraved sea chart, engraved by N, Hill, water stained & margin strengthened on the back of chart, not affecting engraved area. Morris's marine survey of the Welsh coast, undertaken with very little official support, was a supreme pioneering achievement, especially for a self-taught hydrographer. It is for this marine survey that he is now recognized as one of the most eminent of British cartographers. To see more images go to:- [View Bookseller's Homepage]
