Engraved by John Gibson (fl.1748-1773), this series of miniature maps appeared in New and Accurate Maps of the Counties of England and Wales Drawn from the latest surveys by J Gibson. London. J. Newbery 1759. The work was possibly intended for children, the publisher, John Newbery, being known for his juvenile publications,  There was only one further issue of the work published by Thomas Carnan c.1779 and the maps are uncommon today.

Ink smudge at bottom border but still a good example of a rare miniature map.
