Description
"Atlas To The Topographical Dictionaries Of England And Wales. Published by S. Lewis, London, 1849". 55 county maps + map of England & Wales + Plan of London. The maps are drawn by R. Creighton, engraved by J & C Walker. Title page, then the maps (no text). Page size approx 11 1/4" high by 8 1/2" wide - this is the minimum size of each map, but some are larger. Maps hand-coloured in outline. Hardback with boards that are definitely the originals, but I suspect the spine could be a later replacement - if it is, it's not a recent replacement and it has been professionally done. In the list of contents below, if there are no comments against a map it means it is a single-page map in good clean condition. If it says "folding map" without giving a size, it is slightly less than 2 single-pages. 1. England and Wales. Folding map, opening to approx 21" high by 17" wide. Some foxing. 3" tear, with no loss, to the edge, middle left (visible in the photo). 2. Plan Of London. Folding plan, opening to approx 20" wide by 17" high. A little light foxing. The only page that isn't hand-coloured in outline. (The amount of detail on this is remarkable - see the close-up picture below). 3. Anglesey. 4. Bedfordshire. 5. Berkshire. 6. Brecknockshire. 7. Buckinghamshire. 8. Cambridgeshire. 9. Cardiganshire. 10.Carmarthenshire. 11.Carnarvonshire. 12. Cheshire. Folding map. A little foxing. 13. Cornwall. 14. Cumberland. Folding map. 15. Denbighshire. 16. Derbyshire. 17. Devonshire. Folding map. Tiny amount of foxing. 18. Dorsetshire. 19. Durham. 20. Essex. Tiny amount of foxing. 21. Flintshire. 22. Glamorganshire. 23. Gloucestershire. Folding map. 24. Guernsey, Sark, Alderney. A little foxing. 25. Herefordshire. A little foxing. 26. Hertfordshire. Some faint foxing. 27. Huntingdonshire. 28. Jersey. 29. Kent. 30.

(Southampton = Hampshire & Isle Of Wight). 49. Staffordshire. 50. Suffolk. Folding map. 51. Surrey. 52. Sussex. 53. Warwickshire. One bit of foxing. 54. Westmorland. 55. Wiltshire. 56. Worcestershire. 57. Yorkshire. Large folding map, opens to approx 21" wide by 17" high. One-inch tear to the margin at centre left, with no loss (visible in the picture below). Some foxing - more foxing on this map than on any other. The title page gives a list of maps that should be there, and none are missing. Overall, this atlas is in very good condition, the only "problem" being the scattered foxing. (There were two versions of this atlas, one with the counties of England only, the other one (this one) with the counties of England and Wales. This copy is obviously the more desirable). On 15-Oct-08 at 18:44:52 BST, seller added the following information:I've just noticed that, for postage and packing, the listing is saying that insurance for domestic shipments is 'not offerred'. I suppose I must have done something wrong somewhere, but please be assured that the domestic postage cost of 7 GBP INCLUDES insurance.
