Robert Morden (active 1668 - 1703) was an engraver and publisher who set up his business in New Cheapside in London in the 1670's. He provided maps for the new translation of William Camden's 'Britannia' in 1695. His work was not original - the maps were mainly based on Christopher Saxton's maps from the 1570's - but they were simple, attractive and easy to understand. The maps were republished many times, both individually and in further editions of 'Britannia' and in different formats through to the end on the 18th Century.
