A rare, attractive and unusual 19th Century map of Lincolnshire which appeared in Reuben Ramble’s Travels through the Counties of England (London: Darton & Clark, 1845-1850). The original page of text which accompanies the map is included with the purchase.
‘Reuben Ramble’ was the pseudonym of the Reverend Samuel Clark who produced this work to help educate children in national and local geography. Each county is represented by a small but detailed map surrounded with various topographical images — in the case of Lincolnshire, this includes a view of Boston Church and Iron Bridge plus several rustic and agricultural scenes. As children have a tendency to maltreat their books, the maps from this series are comparatively rare to find.
