G. Rollos sculp.
Copper engraving by George Rollos published in A New Geographical Dictionary...by John Barrow. London, J. Cootes. 1759.
George Rollos (1731-1796) was apprenticed to engraver, cartographer and publisher, Thomas Kitchin (1719-1784). He seems to have remained a close friend and associate of Kitchin, following his move to St. Albans in 1780 and witnessing his will in that year.
Good clean example in neat hand colour.
