ENGRAVED BY SID.Y HALL.
This series of maps first appeared in Gorton's Topographical Dictionary issued in parts over a three year period from 1830, the complete work not published again after 1833. The maps were then issued in A New British Atlas…, Sidney Hall's British Atlas…, A Travelling County Atlas… and other variations on the title, from 1834 until c.1888. It's popularity due in part to Hall's continuous updating of the plates to include the latest railways. The maps were intaglio printed until c.1858 and then by lithographic transfer.
This example, in original outline hand colour, is from the 1852 edition entitled A Travelling County Atlas: with All the Railroads Accurately Laid Down and Coloured published by Chapman and Hall, 193 Piccadilly. (Late 186 Strand.)
