CARY'S QUARTO SERIES. FINE ORIGINAL COLOUR. WITH TEXT PAGE.

CHESHIRE

By JOHN CARY, Engraver.
London: Published July 1.1809 by J.Cary Engraver & Map seller 181 Strand.
Copper engraving by John Cary. This series of maps, commonly known as his "quarto" series, were published in Cary's New and Correct English Atlas and were justifiably popular, running to many editions from 1787 until about 1804. Re-engraved plates extended the life of the series from 1808 to 1843 and lithographic transfers from the plates by later publishers continued publication until about 1876 - a life of nearly 90 years.
This example of the map of Cheshire is from the re-engraved plate published in Cary's New and Correct English Atlas of 1809 and is in fine original hand colour. Includes page of text description of the county.
