Kitchin: Set of Seven Maps. Seven small folding maps (quarto to oblong quarto) engraved based on the work of noted cartographer Thomas Kitchen. All mid-18th century. The maps are: "Europe Drawn from the best Authorities"(likely published 1773); "Ireland Drawn from the latest Authorities"; "East Indies from the best Authorities"; "South America Drawn from the best Authorities"; "Poland Lithuania and Prussia Drawn from the latest Authorities"; "England and Wales Drawn from the best Authorities"; "Spain and Portugal drawn from the latest Authorities". The maps are likely from a few different publishers of Kitchener's works, as the cartouches and typefaces differ slightly among them. These are lovely maps sized for ease of transport from the era of Britain's expansion.
The maps all show some tape residue verso; toning to edges; minor surface soil; a few with tiny splitting at folds. Generally good to very good condtion.
