NORTH WALES
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. This is the only version engraved with North to the top of the page with the title, road distances and imprint engraved sideways and was published with his brother George, between 1822 and 1835. The final issue was by lithographic transfer in Crutchleys' Railroad Companion to England and Wales...in 1862.
Light finger marking but still a good example of the 1st state of the re-engraved plate of 1822 in original hand colour. Generous margins.
