The county
foxhunting maps have been reproduced from 19th Century hand coloured maps
depicting 114 hunts and covering 42 counties of England. Originally produced
as a guide to the Victorian foxhunter. They were published as a foxhunting
atlas in 1870 (Hobson’s). Printed by county with clearly coloured
boundaries, the hunt’s individual meets are named and often the coverts. The
kennels are also marked. Printed in full colour on antiqued paper using
colour fast inks. Scale approx 1 inch to 3 miles (though this varies from
map to map). This is a limited edition of only 100 copies per county. They
measure 12x16ins as the actual map size and 16x24ins as the paper size they
are printed on.
