NotesThe provenance and exact date of many of the maps in this collection cannot be sufficiently determined due to multiple publishing dates and potential for some of the maps to be copies. Therefore, to accommodate this a large date range has been used in the date field with a more exact date suggested in the title field. If you are aware of any mistakes with the dates then please contact a member of staff.
