‘SALOP. [Shropshire] Divided into Rapes & Hundreds AND THE Parliamentary Divisions.’ by William Darton &Thomas Dix c.1835

A very rare and attractive early 19th century map of Shropshire (also known as Salop) which appeared in Darton & Dix’s A Complete Atlas Of The English Counties (London: William Darton & Son, c.1835). The maps from this series are noteworthy for their richness of detail, engraving quality, fine original hand colour and quaint vignette view — in this case, of Shrewsbury. Despite their quality, the Darton & Dix maps are amongst the rarest county maps to find and are much sought after by collectors.
