HERTFORDSHIRE
Drawn by R.Creighton. | Engraved by J. & C. Walker
DRAWN AND ENGRAVED FOR LEWIS' TOPOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY. 
Copper engraving by J & C Walker from a drawing by Roger Creighton issued in A Topographical dictionary of England… published by Samuel Lewis and Co. from 1831. The work achieved considerable success and was re-issued many times by Lewis until 1849. During this time the maps were amended and updated to include electoral information and the rapidly expanding railway network, with most counties known in at least six different states.
This example is the final state of the plate with the Coleshill satellite of Hertfordshire removed and Amersham removed from the key to the Unions published in 1848 & 1849. Later hand colour.
