Miniature map engraved by Sidney Hall and first published by Samuel Leigh in Leigh's New Pocket Atlas of England and Wales in 1820. The demand for pocket atlases for the traveller was high during the first half of the 19th century and this little atlas, Samuel Leigh's only cartographic work,  was very popular, running to ten editions with publications continued after his death by his widow and then his son until the final issues in 1842 & 3 when the plates had come into the hands of  George Biggs.
 
 
Good hand coloured example from the first edition.
