A very charming and unique collection of 47 manuscript maps of the counties of England and Wales. Each map is expertly drawn, showing the most important towns and rivers, and shows the names of the surrounding counties. It has been suggested that this set was used as an educational toy, challenging players to guess the surrounding counties, or indeed indentifying the county by its neighbours.
The name Wickham might point towards the name of the artist.
