L. Carr’s pictorial miscellany map of Essex, published in 1975 from his home-based Quince Tree Press at 27 Mill Dale Road, Kettering. One of 775 sheets issued, this example is numbered 253 and bears Carr’s distinctive sun-face colophon. Carr’s county maps, produced between 1966 and 1982, are whimsical and deliberately non-navigational, conceived as visual anthologies of collective memory that link place with local history, anecdote, folklore, and notable figures rather than practical geography. Densely populated with portraits, buildings, ships, coats of arms, historical scenes, and marginal texts, the map weaves together history, literature, religion, and legend in Carr’s characteristically antiquarian and deeply personal style. Printed and distributed privately, it forms part of the distinctive body of work associated with the Quince Tree Press, now recognised as a singular contribution to post-war British pictorial cartography.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52173551501659,"sku":"P-8-006514","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-006514a.jpg?v=1770310692","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/essex-pictorial-miscellany-county-map-by-joseph-lloyd-carr-1975-old-p-8-006514","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
