DETAILED POCKET MAP WITH PASTORAL TITLE CARTOUCHE.

A Modern MAP of  SURREY, Drawn from the latest Surveys; Corrected & Improved by y^e best Authorities. J. Ellis Sculp^t.
Printed for Rob^t. Sayer in Fleet Street, & Carington Bowles in S^t. Pauls Church yard.

First published in The New English Atlas… in 1765, the atlas became a considerable success with many editions under the title Ellis's English Atlas, being published over a period of thirty years from the offices of Robert Sayer and Carington Bowles. Most of the maps were copied from those by Thomas Kitchin in a rival publication of similar pocket size by Robert Dodsley England Illustrated first published in 1763 but which not achieve the same commercial success.

Very good example in fine later hand colour from the 1773 edition of Ellis's English Atlas.
