Thomas Kitchin's compact county maps were drawn for the readers of an eighteenth-century monthly, and these antique maps from the London Magazine cover Norfolk, Suffolk, Huntingdonshire, Middlesex, Northumberland, Buckinghamshire and Wiltshire, with Selkirkshire adding a Scottish county and Hanover a north German territory. The periodical began in 1732 as the London Magazine, or Gentleman's Monthly Intelligencer, and printed its maps alongside the rest of its monthly reading. Many in this group date from the late 1740s, though later impressions are also included, and they show county outlines, towns and roads.
