Copper engraving by Thomas Starling from a drawing by Roger Creighton issued in A Topographical dictionary of England… published by Samuel Lewis and Co. from 1831. The work achieved considerable success and was re-issued many times by Lewis until 1849. During this time the maps were amended and updated to include electoral information and the rapidly expanding railway network, with most counties known in at least six different states.

This map with the note outside top centre is the second state of the plate published in 1833 &1835. Later hand colour.
