CARY'S TRAVELLERS COMPANION. LATE ISSUE.

SUFFOLK
London. Published by G.& J. Cary N.^o 86 S^t James's Str.

This is 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 version, published with his brother, George, between 1822 and 1828, is the only version with place names on the map engraved to read with North at the top, the title, imprint and list of distances from London therefore being engraved sideways.
Original hand colour.
