Actual Title: ‘The Continuation of the Road from Chester to Cardiffe Com. Glamor By THO.s GARDNER.’
An interesting and rare early 18th century road strip map showing the route from Llanbadarn to Cardiff — via Buith Wells and Brecon — 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.
