Commencing publication in 1859, this series of maps were printed by lithographic transfer from an engraved plate for The Weekly Dispatch Newspaper. The maps were also published as loose sheets and, when the series was complete, in The Dispatch Atlas in 1863. The publishers Cassell Petter and Galpin acquired the plates publishing them as loose sheets from 1864 and in Cassell's Illustrated family paper and Cassell's British Atlas in 1867. By 1869, the firm of G. W. Bacon had acquired the plates and published them in a number of titles for over forty years.
This map of Essex includes statistical, topographical and parliamentary information transferred from type and is from the Cassell issue published from 1864 to 1867.
