First published in The New English Atlas… in 1765, the atlas became a considerable success with many editions under the title Ellis's English Atlas, being published over a period of thirty years from the offices of Robert Sayer and Carington Bowles. Most of the maps were copied from those by Thomas Kitchin in a rival publication of similar pocket size by Robert Dodsley England Illustrated first published in 1763 but which not achieve the same commercial success.
Waterstain to top margin but remains a very good example in fine later hand colour from the 1773 edition of Ellis's English Atlas.
