HERTFORDSHIRE
By J.Cary | Engraver
London. Published Sep^r.1.1792 by J.Cary Engraver N.^o181 Strand
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 first plate was published from 1789 to 1801 before it became necessary to  engrave a new plate. This edition, with the imprint dated 1792 and the Coleshill enclave corrected from Pt. of Herefordshire, is the 4th state of the plate published in 1791 (the year before the dated imprint). Map of Herefordshire verso. North is to the right.
Small margins with partial loss of compass point. A little fingermarked. Edge nick bottom right.
For image verso see listing under Herefordshire maps.
