John Cary 1809 Map of Leicestershire from New and Correct English Atlas
Item Description
Wow, what a great old map for your collection or decorating needs. Came in a portfolio folder, I picked up at a recent auction with 2 other antique maps and much artwork. This piece may have been from the 1809 New and Correct English Atlas that Cary published, but no provenance came with the piece that would substantiate that.
This map and other items in the portfolio appears to have once belonged to a New York doctor named G. Kleefeid. Kleefeid appears to have originally been Belgian and traveled there quite frequently. His address back in the 1970s was 115 Central Park West in New York City, right alongside Central Park, so seemed to have done quite well for himself and would explain why such fine pieces were all found together. Other pieces in this portfolio will be put up on my eBay store over the next few days. This is a very large map for that period which explains the taping along the middle as the image was too large for the presses that were being utilized.
The map appears to be appropriate for that period. It looks very similar to other pieces I have seen in galleries and shops over the years. The impression of the print is around the whole perimeter. The paper looks appropriate for what used at that time. John Cary was considered one of the best map makers of his time and his pieces are highly sought after.
The map has the year 1809 noted at the bottom of the map page. The map is 9.75" across, by 12.5" tall. With the descriptive page, which is still attached to the map page it measures 19.5" across by 12.5" tall. Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures.
