Decorative Antique Map in Frame ‘GLOUCESTERSHIRE' by Thomas Moule, circa 1836. A reproduction of the antique map. Excellent condition.
Introduction from website:
A highly decorative 19th century Thomas Moule map of Gloucestershire -- with inset views of Gloucester Cathedral, The New Spa Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Abbey -- which was published in Barclay's Universal English Dictionary (London: G. Virtue, 1841-1852).
The Moule county maps were unusual for the period in that they were highly decorative. The scientific rationality of the late 18th & early 19th century had seen a move away from the flamboyance of earlier map making, emphasizing instead, a greater desire for accuracy and detail. Thomas Moule, like many of his contemporaries, however, was drawn to a more simplistic, pre-industrial age. This was clearly reflected in his maps with their neo-Gothic borders, heraldic shields and views of ancient buildings.
