The table below lists Geographers A-Z Map Company's maps of Essex in approximately chronological order, followed by images of their maps based on my own collection of maps of Essex.
The dimensions against each cover and each map are Height x Width; for the maps, the measurements are of the outermost neat line of the map (not the size of the sheet of paper).
