CARY'S MINIATURE SERIES

DORSETSHIRE
London. Published by G.& J.Cary No.86 St.James's Str.

A re-engraved and revised version of of the map issued by John Cary in 1806 which in turn, was a re-engraved version of his 1789 map. All were issued under the title of Cary's Traveller's Companion, a highly successful work necessitating the re-engraving of worn plates to continue publication.

This edition was the first to have all counties engraved with north to the top of the page, with a number of maps, including Dorset, having the title and imprint engraved sideways.

Intaglio printed version of the map published 1822-28 in original hand colour. Some fingermarks to borders.
