Nine plates dissected into 72 sections and pasted on linen in three sheets 184x74cm. each of 24 sections with green tape borders and green marbled paper covers, east and west sheets with paper label. Housed in original calf book box slipcase with gilt title label.

The map is engraved by James Bingley (1796-1869) and is a revised re-issue of an 1817 map by Christopher Greenwood, lithograph printed and hand coloured.

Henry Teesdale (1776-1855) was a London publisher, this map being one of his first recorded publications. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society shortly after its foundation in 1830. He traded as Henry Teesdale & Co. in partnership with John Jordan of Holborn and William Colling Hobson of Witham until 1832. 

James Bingley (1796-1869) was born at Leicester on 6th May 1796. He married Ann Elizabeth Hardy from Chelsea 19th November 1820 at St. Martin in the fields. Engraver, copperplate printer, mapmaker and coloured-paper manufacturer, he was in a publishing partnership with Francis Roxburgh and William Schmollinger in 1833 which led to Bingley being imprisoned for debt. On the 1841 census he is recorded as a copperplate printer living with his wife in Shoreditch and was possibly connected with the firm “Batho & Bingley”, banknote engravers and printers at Lombard Street. His death, at the age of 73 was registered at Holborn in the final quarter of 1869.
 
The map has some occasional light marking and tanning but is generally in very good condition. The box is scuffed and worn but complete and strong. A very good example in bright original hand colour
