笔记

Reuben Ramble designed this atlas for children. The maps were originally published by Robert Miller as the ‘New Miniature Atlas’ of 1821. The following year they were in a work by Darton. Prior to that they were issued as a set of exceedingly rare card maps of the counties of by Thomas Crabb. Here Ramble surrounds the wide margins of the maps with a series of ornate vignettes. Ramble, whose name is a pseudonym for the Reverend Samuel Clark (1810-75), left his father’s business in 1836 and went to London. He soon became a partner to William Darton. He went on to write geography books for children and later in life became the Rector of Eaton-Bishop.
