Description
These maps form part of an exceedingly variable work. It first appeared in 3 volumes, vol. 1 being dated 1835, and published by Tallis & Co., Green arbour Court, Old Bailey. Vols. 2 and 3 had no date and were published, by John Tallis, 15 St. John's Lane, Smithfield, and L. Tallis 3 Jewin Street, City, respectively. It was at first illustrated by reprints of G. Cole's maps of 1810 (The British atlas). Later it appeared in 4, 8, 9 and 11 volumes, but the printed text remained uniform throughout. About 1842 the Cole maps began to be replaced by new ones, with the imprint "Drawn & engraved by J. Archer Pentonville London". This atlas volume contains the Archer maps, which are uncoloured, and each map has the additional imprint "Engraved for Dugdales England and Wales delineated". Railways are shown up to date. Cf. Whitaker: The Harold Whitaker Collection... Univ. of Leeds, 1947, p. 88.
