Hinton (John).

Chubb CCXXVI, Beresiner p.114. The maps are clearly based on John Ogilby’s ‘Britannia’ of 1675 but are of a much larger scale than most other 18th century road and route maps. Hinton’s road maps have no reference to an engraver or author. Perhaps Hinton considered the authorship unnecessary as he was already known as the publisher of the two dominant English cartographers of the 18th century, Thomas Kitchin and Emaunuel Bowen as well as being the publisher of ‘The Universal Magazine’.
