Moule’s Map of Cumberland Date of Publication_1949 one in the lower marginThis map of Cumberland is by Moule, a bookseller, writer on heraldry and publisher who commissioned what is generally considered to be the last really decorative series of English county maps. They were first issued in monthly parts with a simple single colour wash between 1830 37, but were issued black and white thereafter, mostly being used to illustrate editions of English Counties Delineated and Barclay's Dictionary.
