Description
With title at top left and four scales below. A nice map by John Cary who was considered 'the most representative, able and prolific of English cartographers'. Tooley says, 'As an engraver he was elegant and exact with fine clear lettering and great delicacy of touch' from Cary's “New Universal Atlas”.
John Cary (1754–1835) was an English cartographer. He served his apprenticeship as an engraver in London, before setting up his own business in the Strand in 1783.
He soon gained a reputation for his maps and globes, his atlas, “The New and Correct English Atlas” published in 1787, becoming a standard reference work in England. In his later life he collaborated on geological maps with the geologist William Smith. His business was eventually taken over by G. F. Cruchley (1822–1875).
John Cary (c1754-1835)
Cary was an English cartographer who produced whos “New and Correct English Atlas” (1787) became a standard reference work in England. He was commissioned by the Postmaster General in 1794 to survey England's roads, resulting in “Cary's New Itinerary” (1798 & 1817), which delineated the major roads in England and Wales. He produced Ordnance Survey maps up to 1805. His other major publications included: “Cary's Actual Survey of the country fifteen miles around London” (1786), maps for the 1789 & 1806 editions of “Camden's Britannia”, “Cary's Survey of the High Roads from London” (1790), “Cary's Traveller's Companion, or a delineation of the turnpike roads of England & Wales” (1790), “Cary's New Map of England and Wales with part of Scotland” (1794), “Inland Navigation; or Select Plans of the Several Navigable Canals throughout Britain” (1795), “New British Atlas” (1805), “Cary's New Universal Atlas” (1808), “Cary's English Atlas” (1809) & “New Elementary Atlas” (1813)FAQ - Guarantee - Shipping

Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value:
Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability.
Nowadays it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors, and these are therefore more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
- Original colors: the colors were applied around the time the map was issued.
- Original o/l colors: only the borders were colored at the time of publication.
- Colored: the colors were applied recently or at the end of the 20th century ("attractive colors" may also be used).
