Cary, John
Miniature map from Cary's Travellers Companion. First published in 1789, this travellers book was popular, running to several editions until at least 1801 and with re-engraved versions of the maps in 1806 and 1822, the work continued to be issued by the Cary firm until 1835. Their final appearance was published by G. F. Crutchley in his Railroad companion to England and Wales...
This example, dated 1792, is from the third state of the first engraved plate published in 1791.
