Description

Printed map. Visual scale [21 mm=10 English miles]. Probably originally published in John [Jean] Rocque's The Small British Atlas: Being a New Set of Maps of all the Counties of England and Wales..., published 1753.
Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland, entry CCVII, p. 172-174: "Fifty-four maps, first issued in The English Traveller, 1746, two of which are of England and Wales and the remainder the counties and adjacent islands. These maps are similar to those in the Small English Atlas, 1749. As in the former case the shading around the county boundary gives the counties the appearance of islands....The plates are unnumbered." Acquired as part of the Banks Collection.
