WORCESTERSHIRE | By JOHN CARY Engraver.
London: Published by J.Cary Engraver & Map-seller Strand. July 1st.1809.
Copper engraving by John Cary. This series of maps, commonly known as his "quarto" series, were published in Cary's New and Correct English Atlas and were justifiably popular, running to many editions from 1787 until about 1804. Re-engraved plates extended the life of the series from 1808 to 1843 and lithographic transfers from the plates by later publishers continued publication until about 1876 - a life of nearly 90 years.
Very good example in fine original hand colour from the second state of the re-engraved plate published in 1809. Includes original page of text description of the county.
