Engraved by J. Roper, drawn by J. Britton.
This series of maps were intended to accompany The Beauties of England Wales. The maps were not actually published with this work but first issued in parts as a separate series between 1804 and 1810 and first appearing in atlas form in The British Atlas published by Vernor Hood & Sharpe & nine others in 1810. The maps were re-issued in several publications including Dugdale's Curiosities of Great Britain until 1843. Their final appearance was by lithographic transfer in a single issue of a county atlas of unknown title by H.G. Collins.

Fine example in original hand colour from the first issue pubished 1810. Imprint dated Nov. 1st 1808.
