Warwickshire Maps

43x54 cm

Copper engraving by John Cary (1755-1835) from a drawing by Edward Noble (1741?-1784). The maps were first issued in parts by T. Payne & Son, and G.G.J. & J. Robinson for Richard Gough's translation of William Camden's Britannia, the completed work being published in 1789. Following the death of Payne, the Robinson family sold the plates and publication rights to John Stockdale. Richard Gough was reportedly annoyed with the new arrangements and refused to work on the new edition and Stockdale completed the editorial work himself, expanding the work to four folio volumes and publishing them in 1806. Stockdale also used the plates in his New British Atlas from 1805 to 1809.
Small margins. A good example in original hand colour from the Stockdale edition published between 1805 and 1809.
