Dear Lis-Mappers,
The Bodleian Map Room is proud to present a celebrity connection with one of our eighteenth century maps. Readers may be surprised to learn that Peter André, famous for his singing, dancing, reality TV career and Iceland television commercials, was also responsible for surveying Essex in the 1770s. His name appears on the cartouche below that of John Chapman, a London based map publisher. See more on the Map Room blog at http://blogs.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/maps/
Best wishes
Debbie Hall
