Plate 34 [94*]: The Road from Hatherleigh to Truro (via Launceston) by Thomas Gardner c.1719

An interesting and rare early 18th century road strip map showing the route from Hatherleigh, Devon to Truro, Cornwall — via Launceston, Camelford and Padstow — which was published in Thomas Gardner’s A Pocket-Guide To The English Traveller (London: J. Tonson & J. Watts, 1719).

Based on John Ogilby’s Britannia c.1675, Gardner’s road strip maps were of a reduced size making them more practical for the traveller. His atlas was, however, published only once making the maps rare to find.

*(Despite being numbered as 94, it is in fact plate 34 from the atlas).
