267849Map. Pen and ink with watercolor. Sheet measures 7 x 8.5".<br/><br/> This beautiful schoolgirl or schoolboy manuscript map of England and Wales beautifully depicts from Scotland south to the English Channel. Essentially two maps on a single sheet the left map depicts the region with detailed topography throughout. Towns rivers and mountains are noted with a key in the top left corner. The right hand side of the map depicts "The Saxon Heptarchy" and territories are numbered and shaded in. A key in the bottom right lists the territories numbered on the map. The Wall of Severus is identified. The speculative Wall of Severus was supposedly built by the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus as a defensive fortification but was most likely mistaken for either the Antonine Wall or the Hardian's Wall. The map is in good condition with minor wear along the original centerfold. Small stain in the bottom of centerfold. Minor toning and foxing with some edge wear.<br><br>This map dates to circa 1880 and was most likely made by a student or apprentice as training in geography drafting and penmanship. Manuscript map-making was a useful educational tool in the 19th century a period of imperialism and increased world trade in which geography grew significantly as a field of study.<br><br>In the United States and northwestern Europe reform movements that sought to improve the quality and accessibility of childhood education pushed for the inclusion of geography in school curricula. One common method of teaching was the making of manuscript maps. Working from wall maps globes and atlases students were made to meticulously hand-reproduce maps in pen and ink and with watercolor. Such exercises not only provided a way to review and retain geographical knowledge but they also functioned as training in penmanship calligraphy and drafting. This map is a lovely document that straddles the line between art and geography.<br/><br/> unknown books
