Title / Subject: Worcestershire

Date: 1809

Size: Approximately 244mm x 308mm (sheet size including margins), blank verso.

Description: A finely engraved, and attractively hand coloured, map of Worcestershire. This map, published in the 1809 edition of Cary's 'New and Correct Atlas' was printed from newly engraved plates, resulting in a very fine print impression. In addition to the imprint at the bottom of the map it can also be identified by the impression of the plate which extends 1/2 an inch beyond the border of the map, instead of 1/4 of an inch as in earlier issues.

Cartographer / Engraver: John Cary

Provenance: 'Cary's New and Correct English Atlas: Being a New Set of County Maps from Actual Surveys ...', London, 1809. 

Condition: Excellent condition. Light age toning. Hand coloured. Centrefold crease. Please study all the photographs carefully to fully appreciate the condition.
