NORTH WALES | By JOHN CARY Engraver.
London: Publish'd July 1.1809 by J Cary, Engraver & Map seller Strand.
Copper engraving by John Cary (1754-1835). This series of Maps, commonly known as his 'quarto' series, were published in Cary's New and Correct English Atlas and were justifiably popular, running to many editions from 1787 until about 1804. Worn plates were re-engraved extending the publication from 1808 until 1843 and lithographic transfers from the plates by later publishers continued publication until about 1876 giving a life of nearly 90 years for Cary's maps.
This example of the map of North Wales is from the re-engraved plate published in Cary's New and Correct English Atlas of 1809 and is in fine original hand colour. Fine condition. Includes original page of typeset tect description of North Wales.
