WORCESTERSHIRE
Pigot & Slater Engravers Manchester.
PUBLISHED BY PIGOT & C.^o LONDON AND MANCHESTER.

Lithographic transfer produced by James Pigot and Isaac Slater for publication in Pigot & Co.'s pocket atlas, topography and gazetteer of England…London and Manchester J. Pigot & Co. 1839. The engraved plate was not used for direct intaglio printing.
The work was issued twice more in 1841 and 1850 and individual county sections were probably issued separately. James Pigot (1769-1843) is well known for his steel engraved county maps and his directories published from 1826 and this series of lithograph printed maps were based on his steel engraved series, but this miniature work did not achieve the success of his earlier publications and the maps are uncommon today.
Includes Lithograph printed engraving of Worcester Cathedral, distance tables, and 24 pages of typeset text description of the county.
