Origins of English history
Charles Isaac Elton's 1882 London study from B. Quaritch, a scholarly history of early Britain tracing its ethnology and druidic origins, drawn from the University of Toronto's Robarts Library. The four pictures are early printed maps of Europe, Gaul and the known world, with coastlines, rivers, mountain ranges and tribal names set in dense labelled grids, useful to a designer for antique cartographic linework, lettering and ornamental compass borders.
