Engraved by Samuel Neele, this series of county maps were published in Encyclopaedia Londinensis; or, a universal dictionary of arts, sciences, and literature…Embellished by a most magnificent set of copper-plate engravings…Compiled, digested, and arranged, by John Wilkes… The maps are variously dated 1801 to 1828 and were based on John Cary’s 1787 series published in his New and Correct English Atlas. Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Cambridge were not issued. The maps were not re-issued and appeared in no other publication.
Good example of the map of Essex dated 1803. In fine later hand colour. Uncommon.
