1814 ATLAS Maps of England & Wales Scotland Color Navigation Travel John Cary

An incredible atlas consisting of 42 color maps of Great Britain by John Cary. The atlas covers cities in England, Wales, and Scotland and, per the title, depicts roads, rivers, towns, parks, and other physical aspects of the British landscape. Cary gained his reputation as a cartographer for his work on globes and maps after publishing this atlas, which would become a standard reference work in England at the end of the 18th-century.

The maps from this work are often extracted and sold as individual pieces. It is quite rare to find them all in tact in one fine binding.

The general map of England and Wales is, according to the Wardington Catalogue,"…the first map on the meridian of Greenwich instead of London (St. Paul's Cathedral) which had been used on English maps from its introduction by John Seller in 1676".
