Thomas Richardson was a Scottishcartographer in the 18th century. He is recorded as having been active from 1772-1828.[1]
Maps, plans and surveys attributed to Richardson include the 1771 'reduced map' of Blenheim Park, which gives Richardson's address as Little Queen Ann Street, Cavendish Square, London;[2] a 1771 "Survey of the Royal Gardens of Richmond",[3] a 1772 plan of Maidenstone Hill, Greenwich,[4] 1775 plans of Little St John's Wood,[5] 1776 plans of the crown estates in Minster in Sheppey[6] and a 1777 survey of the lands of the Duchess of Buccleuch.[7]
The National Library of Scotland holds four maps by Richardson, who signs them as a 'landsurveyor, Glasgow'. These
include a map of the town of Glasgow from 1795,[8] and a new travelling map of Scotland 'shewing principal direct & cross roads', 1804.[9]
