SHOWING PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

CUMBERLAND
Drawn by R. Creighton. | Engraved by J.& C.Walker.

Copper engraving by the firm of J & C Walker from a drawing by R. Creighton and printed by lithographic transfer for publication in A Topographical dictionary of England… published by Samuel Lewis and Co. from 1835-1840.  The plates were not used for direct intaglio printing. The purpose of the map was to indicate the new parliamentary divisions and other electoral information; the otherwise shows only the county boundary, principal towns and main roads.

Good example with original outline hand colour.
