An interesting and rare early 18th century road strip map showing the route from Dartmouth, Devon to Minehead, Somerset — via Newton Bushel / Abbott, Exeter, Silverton, Tiverton and Bampton — 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.
