London. Published July 1.1806 by J.Cary Engraver N.^o 181 Strand
A re-engraved and revised version of of the map issued by John Cary in 1789. Issued under the title of Cary's Traveller's Companion, this pocket atlas was a highly successful work necessitating the re-engraving of worn plates to continue publication. This re-engraved plate was published from 1806 to 1821 before it became necessary to  engrave a new plate. This edition, with the imprint dated 1806, is the first issue of this plate. North is to the right.
Some light browning but still a good example in original hand colour.
