Drawn by R.Creighton. | ENGRAVED FOR LEWIS' TOPOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY. | J.&C.Walker Sculpt.
Copper engraving by the firm of J & C Walker from a drawing by Roger Creighton for publication in A Topographical dictionary of England… published by Samuel Lewis and Co. from 1831. The work achieved considerable success and was re-issued many times by Lewis until 1849. During this time the maps were amended and updated to include electoral information and the rapidly expanding railway network, with most counties known in at least six different states.
Good example in original hand colour outlining the poor-law unions issued from 1840 to 1845.
