Leicestershire Maps

10x15 cm

LEICESTERSHIRE | London. Published by G.&J.Cary, N^o.86 S^t. James's Str.
A re-engraved and revised version of of the map issued by John Cary in 1806 which in turn, was a re-engraved version of his 1789 map. All were issued under the title of Cary's Traveller's Companion, a highly successful work necessitating the re-engraving of worn plates to continue publication. The map was later published by Crutchley in his Railroad Companion of 1862 printed by lithographic transfer.
Some grubbiness to margins but still a good example of the intaglio printed version of the map in original hand colour published 1822-28.
