This series of county maps were issued at erratic intervals over a four year period bearing dates between 1787 and 1789. The atlas Maps Of The English Counties… was first issued in 1791 by J. Harrison and remained on sale for several years but appears to have not sold well as various reductions in price are recorded.
Drawn by John Haywood (fl.1781-1792) and engraved by Edward Sudlow (fl.1784-1793).
The border is divided and numbered at 5' intervals with a graticule over the map.
Printers crease running top to bottom of the map. There is also light offsetting and marking. Despite these faults it remains a decorative map with good detail showing the roads and the hundred divisions. Good margins. Good later hand colour.
