An attractive and finally etched plate from Samuel Lyson's 'An Account of Roman Antiquaries discovered at Woodchester in the County of Gloucester in the year 1793'. The map covers the county from Gloucester to Cirencester and south to Doddington. Four insets show detail of ancient encampments. Lysons was an artist of some skill. The plates for this work were etched by himself from his own drawings, and the descriptive text in English and French were also his own work. He produced several works on the antiquities of Gloucestershire, and accounts of various mosaic payments in the West Country. The plates of this work are magnificent of their kind, and of a very high quality.
