Sussex Maps

24x19 cm

Steel engraving by Robert Scott first published in Bell's New and Comprehensive Gazetteer in 1833. The text for the gazetteer was largely copied from Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of 1831 and in 1839 Lewis obtained an injunction against Bell for plagiarism and the work was withdrawn. Archibald Fullarton, the publisher of Bell's Gazetteer republished the maps with new text in The Parliamentary Gazetteer from 1840 until 1849. 

Good hand coloured example of the county of Sussex with vignette of "Hastings from the White Rocks".
