MORDEN, Robert
1668 – 1703
Robert Morden was a publisher, bookseller, mapseller,
cartographer, globe and instrument maker. He worked in London at the
Atlas in New Cheapside and at the Atlas in Cornhill from 1675 to 1703.
His output in cartographical works was quite large and varied.
His
work was often much criticized but he produced interesting sets of
geographical playing cards, maps of various parts of the world and the
county maps for Camden's Britannia, for which he is best remembered.
These were issued in 1695 as part of a new translation of the Britannia
by Dr Edmund Gibson and subsequently were re-issued a number of times
up to 1772.
