British Isles. Stukeley (William & Bertram Richard), Mappa Brittaniae Facie Romanae Secundum Fidem Monumentorum Perveterum Depicta, [1757], hand coloured engraved map of the British Isles, orientated to the west, 325 x 390 mm A cartographic curiosity in that it represents an eighteenth century engraving of a 14th cenutury manuscript map - supposedly discovered by Charles Julius Bertram - which purported to be a history of Roman Britain and included an ancient map of the British Isles. Bertram began a correspondence with the 18th century British antiquarian William Stukeley and managed to convince him of the authenticity of the document and the map. The document and map were published in 1757 and although initially accepted as genuine the hoax was eventually exposed by the Northumberland historian John Hodgson as a complete work of fiction. The Stukeley-Bertram map is a rare example of a cartographic forgery of a medieval manuscript map which enjoyed a lengthy run of legitimacy, before being debunked. Scarce. (1)
