Cary...A
MAP OF Leicestershire FROM THE BEST
AUTHORITIES.1805
A
detailed map of the county with
publisher's imprint dated 1805. 15 3/4 x
20 1/2 inches. Good condition with wide
blank margins. Originally bound on edge so
there is no centre fold. From New British
Atlas published by John Stockdale,
Piccadilly. STOCKDALE, John (publisher)
Cary's maps were popular for their
accuracy and clear style. The numbers
marked on the roads give the distances
between towns. Copper engraved
map
Hand-coloured
engraved map (approximately 106 x 120
inches overall) on 20 double-page folio
sheets (each sheet measuring 24 x 26 1Ž2
inches).The large size allows for a
remarkable amount of detail to be shown,
with careful identification of parishes,
gentlemen's seats, heaths and commons,
marshes, navigable canals, dikes,
turnpikes, by-roads, tramways, and even
Roman walls. All shown on a map drawn to a
scale of 1 3/8 inches to 5 miles.In 1805
Stockdale had published the New British
Atlas, with 43 maps by John Cary. Although
it did not appear until 1809, this mammoth
Map of England and Wales was evidently
prepared in conjunction with the atlas,
for the latter's single-sheet general map
of England is divided into twenty
sections, marked with Roman numerals, to
serve as an index map to the wall map of
1809 (see Chubb The Printed Maps in the
Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland,
243-44.) Tooley praises Cary's various
county maps as "impressive in their
workmanship. They are remarkable for their
accuracy ... and rank with the Ordnance
survey as the finest maps [of
England] of the nineteenth century."
(Maps and Mapmakers, 71.) The same
accuracy and workmanship can be found in
the general wall Map of England and Wales,
which was based upon the county
surveys...large 1805 £60
