About This Item
London, Robert Sayer and Carington Bowles, 1768. Copper engraving, 20 x 26.5 cm, modern hand colour, blank verso. The symbols convey a wealth of detailed information: borough towns are shown with stars identifying the number of Members returned to Parliament, and "Places where Fairs are kept have a Line under the Name". Ellis (d.1796) was a prolific English engraver of the late eighteenth century who joined with William Palmer to produce a set of English county maps, published as Ellis' "New English Atlas", in 1765. The maps were later used in Ellis' "English Atlas; or a Complete Cartography of England and Wales" published in 1766, and reprinted in 1768: our map comes from the 1768 edition. Ellis engraved some of the maps himself, while others were engraved by Louis de la Rochette, Palmer and W. Fowler. The maps themselves were closely based on Kitchin's maps from Dodsley's "England Illustrated". Map
