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.
Showing northern Germany incuding Hamburg.
Good clean example in neat hand colour.
