BRECKNOCKSHIRE
 
Engraved by J. Roper, drawn by George Cole. This series of maps were intended to accompany The Beauties of England and 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 other publishers) 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 Collins' railway and pedestrian atlas… published by Darton and Co. in 1858.
 
This example of the map of Brecknockshire is from the 1842 edition of Dugdale's Curiosities.
Good example in fine original hand colour.
