About the Item
Antique Map of Buckinghamshire, 1885 – Victorian Railways
County Detail
This finely engraved antique map of Buckinghamshire was published in 1885 by George W. Bacon in London as part of the New Large Scale Ordnance Atlas of the British Isles with Plans of Towns. Reduced from Ordnance Survey mapping, it presents the county with exceptional clarity, showing towns, villages, railways, roads, rivers, and administrative boundaries in a dense yet highly legible layout.
NOTE: The map is offered unframed, giving flexibility to select a frame that best suits the intended interior. The attached image of the map in a frame is an impression only.
Buckinghamshire is rendered in soft original color, with key towns such as Aylesbury, Buckingham, and Windsor clearly defined. The Victorian railway network provides strong visual structure, while surrounding counties are subtly indicated for geographic context. The restrained palette, precise linework, and balanced typography give the map a calm, architectural quality that reads beautifully as wall art.
Ideal for decorative buyers and interior designers, this map adds English character and historical depth without feeling overly technical. It works particularly well in studies, libraries, offices, or residential interiors, complementing both classic and contemporary spaces.
Condition Report:
Good antique condition. Light age toning and scattered spotting consistent with age. No major tears or losses; original color remains attractive and clear.
Framing Tips:
A dark wood, black, or ebonized frame suits the historic character. An ivory or warm off-white mat enhances the pastel coloring and keeps the presentation refined.
Technique: Lithograph with original color
