The maps were not actually published with this work but first issued in parts as a separate series between 1804 and 1810, first appearing in atlas form in The British Atlas... published by Vernor Hood & Sharpe et al. in 1810. The intaglio printed maps were re-issued, in English Topography... by Baldwin Cradock & Joy in 1816, and James Goodwin and Thomas McLean in 1827, and in Curiosities of Great Britain... by Talllis & Co, L. Tallis, and John Tallis from 1835 to 1843, with further issues by lithographic transfer by H G Collins in 1852, 1854 and by Darton & Co in 1858.

Fine example in original hand colour from the first issue without centrefold.
