This series of county maps by William Ebden (fl.1811-1830) were first issued individually as loose sheet maps by various publishers from about 1811 but were not published in atlas form until issued by James Duncan, with all references to William Ebden removed and amendments, including the Reform Bill election details, in, A new atlas of England and Wales; consisting of a set of large county travelling maps . . . containing also the new district divisions . . . &c. agreeably to the provisions of the Reform Bill . . . London 1833. Duncan reissued his atlas several times until 1845 when the plates passed to H.G.Collins who published the maps by lithographic transfer until about 1870.
This example of the map of Cumberland is from a Duncan edition with Reform Bill and electoral information.
