Seaton, Robert
Robert Seaton (fl. c. 1835 - 1836) was a British mapmaker who held the post of Hydrographer to the King. Despite the impressive title, we are only able to identify two maps by Seaton, Seaton's Map of Palestine and the Holy Land, and a New Map of England and Wales, both engraved by Josiah Neele (1804 - 1876) and published in 1835.
A beautiful map of England and Wales framed by vignettes of historic landmarks and figures.
This New Map of England and Wales, with the Adjacent Countries, Compile by Surveyors Employed in the Ordnance Department, is Respectfully Dedicated to the King.

This is a stunning c. 1830 Robert Seaton large-format folding case map of England and Wales. The map depicts the region from Ireland to the North Sea and from the Firth of Forth in Scotland to Paris, France. Beautifully executed and wonderfully adorned, the counties of England and Wales are all shaded different colors to allow for easy differentiation. A large, finely engraved view of Windsor Castle is situated at the upper right. The whole is surrounded by a pictorial border populated by portraits of famous British figures, including Shakespeare, Nelson, Raleigh, Byron, Milton, and Wellington. Views of Canterbury Cathedral, York Minster, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey occupy the corners. (more details)
