A map so well-known and so often mentioned it even made an appearance in the Tolkien exhibition in Paris at the French National Library - An Ancient Mappe of Fairyland by Bernard Sleigh (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre). He was a member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA), inspired by the works of George McDonald and William Morris.
So it comes as no surprise Tolkien readers may find something in this amazing map with connections to fairytales and legends and maybe an idea of Middle-earth.
The Internet Archive has a high resolution copy of this available so you can have a look for yourself - or, if you prefer you can have a look at the Library of Congress (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) copy.
If you are interested in further reading places like Chipping Camden (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) or the RBSA (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) should hold your interest for quite a while.
