SOUTH BRITAIN | By JOHN CARY, Engraver.
Imprint: London: Published July 1. 1809 by J.Cary Engraver & Mapseller 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 fine example of the England and Wales is from the re-engraved plate published in Cary's New and Correct English Atlas of 1809 and is in fine original hand colour.
