Copper engraving by Edward Sudlow (fl.1784-1793) from a drawing by John Haywood (fl.1781-1792) and published by John Harrison in Maps of the English Counties, with the Subdivisions of hundreds... 

This series of county maps were issued at erratic intervals over a four year period bearing dates between 1787 and 1789. The atlas Maps of the English Counties… was first issued in 1791 by J. Harrison and remained on sale for several years with several price reductions recorded, the atlas clearly did not sell well.

Good hand coloured example.
