The maps include views of sections along the coast engraved vertically in the sea, 12 on the East map and 9 on the west.
The maps are recorded as having been first issued as loose sheets both lacking the printer's imprint. The first issue in the work by Thomas Horsfield included the printer's imprint on Part I East. A further issue included some minor amendments to the county boundary and the printer's imprint on Part II West and a final issue included engraver's signatures to the views.
Archival tape to the fold intersection verso of each map. Some offsetting from the views on the west map. They are both good examples and remain bound into each volume of the two volume work.
