J. Cary    New and Correct English Atlas 1809 (1787)
£29
26.5 x 21cm


The last decades of the 18th century saw less emphasis being placed on the traditions of decorative mapmaking in favour of a plainer style and design. Foremost amongst this new wave of "modern" cartographers and engravers was John Cary. The New and Correct English Atlas was Cary's first major production as a publisher in his own account. The maps were not only clearly and elegantly drawn and engraved, but also set new standards in accuracy in taking advantage of all the new large-scale county surveys of the second half of the 18th century. The atlas was first published in 1787, with a re-issue in 1793. By 1808 the plates were well worn, and the engraving of a new set was begun. The next dated edition of 1809, from which this example comes, utilised these new plates. Original outline colour.

J. Cary    New English Atlas 1811 (1809)
£90
53.5 x 48cm


It is suprising that Cary's large county atlas was issued as late as 1809, as individual maps from it seem to have been sold singly from 1801. The atlas format was perhaps to compete with the similarly sized atlas of Charles Smith, which went under the same title and was published in 1804. It is perhaps Cary's finest production, the maps being notable for their fine design, detail and engraving. The atlas ran to several later editions by Cary, and the plates were later used for a variety of lithographic transfers by G.F. Cruchley. This example is from the second edition of 1811, and is in original full colour.

J. Cary    Camden's Britannia 1806 (1789)
£75
35.5 x 52cm


Camden's Britannia was first published in 1586. County maps by Kip and Hole were first added in 1607, being supplanted by those of Robert Morden for the five editions from 1695 to 1772. In 1789 a new translation of the work by Richard Gough was published by T. Payne and G.&J. Robinson, with updated and modernised maps by John Cary. The same maps were also later used in Cary's New British Atlas of 1805. They can be found uncoloured, with outline colour, or with full wash colour. This example is from the second Gough edition of Britannia, published in 1806, and the maps are in original full wash colour - the most desirable state.

The last decades of the 18th century saw less emphasis being placed on the traditions of decorative mapmaking in favour of a plainer style and design. Foremost amongst this new wave of "modern" cartographers and engravers was John Cary. The New and Correct English Atlas was Cary's first major production as a publisher in his own account. The maps were not only clearly and elegantly drawn and engraved, but also set new standards in accuracy in taking advantage of all the new large-scale county surveys of the second half of the 18th century. The atlas was first published in 1787, with a re-issue in 1793. By 1808 the plates were well worn, and the engraving of a new set was begun. The next dated edition of 1809, from which this example comes, utilised these new plates. Original outline colour. Supplied mounted, ready to frame, and with the original, accompanying text page.

Camden's Britannia was first published in 1586. County maps by Kip and Hole were first added in 1607, being supplanted by those of Robert Morden for the 5 editions from 1695 to 1772. In 1789 a new translation of the work by Richard Gough was published by T. Payne and G. & J. Robinson with updated and modernised maps by John Cary. The same maps were also later used in Cary's New British Atlas of 1805. They can be found uncoloured, with outline colour and with full wash colour. This example is from the second Gough edition of Britannia, published in 1806, and the maps are in full wash colour - the most desirable state.

J. Cary    New English Atlas 1811 (1809)
£80
53 x 47.5cm


It is suprising that Cary's large county atlas was issued as late as 1809, as individual maps from it seem to have been sold singly from 1801. The atlas format was perhaps to compete with the similarly sized atlas of Charles Smith, which went under the same title and was published in 1804. It is perhaps Cary's finest production, the maps being notable for their fine design, detail and engraving. The atlas ran to several later editions by Cary, and the plates were later used for a variety of lithographic transfers by G.F. Cruchley. This example is from the second edition of 1811, and is in original full colour.

J. Cary    New and Correct English Atlas 1809 (1787)
£35
26.5 x 21cm


Whole county. The last decades of the 18th century saw less emphasis being placed on the traditions of decorative mapmaking in favour of a plainer style and design. Foremost amongst this new wave of "modern" cartographers and engravers was John Cary. The New and Correct English Atlas was Cary's first major production as a publisher in his own account. The maps were not only clearly and elegantly drawn and engraved, but also set new standards in accuracy in taking advantage of all the new large-scale county surveys of the second half of the 18th century. The atlas was first published in 1787, with a re-issue in 1793. By 1808 the plates were well worn, and the engraving of a new set was begun. The next dated edition of 1809, from which this example comes, utilised these new plates. Original outline colour.

G. Cruchley J. Cary    Lennox's 40 Miles Round Leeds c1865
£295
125.5 x 98cm


This map has it's origins in the 1820's, when John Cary and his sons first published Cary's Improved Map of England and Wales, a set of 65 sectional maps covering England and Wales at the scale of 2 miles to the inch. The Carys may have followed OS maps where available, but for the northern half of the country especially they had to rely on their own and others' detailed survey work. In 1844 George Cruchley purchased the Carys' stock of printing plates, and, after changing titles and imprints, continued to issue his own maps and atlases from these plates, including this series. Cruchley's only significant amendment was the addition of the railways, and the maps must have been frequently updated to show the fast growing railway network. A switch to printing from lithographic transfers rather than the original copper plates would have made this somewhat easier. Cruchley sold the maps individually under the title "Reduced Ordnance Map of England and Wales", but was also happy to adapt the series to other commercial opportunities, as with this example. The map is actually composed of 4 "Cary" sheets - numbers 43,44,48 and 49, still using the original Cary numbering. The coverage encompasses Kirkby Lonsdale, Hunmanby, Lincoln, and Middlewich - I'e the west Riding of Yorks. with parts of the North and East Ridings and of Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire and Lancashre. Cruchley's name does not appear on the map, but a pasted-on printed label at the centre top gives the title "Map of 40 Miles Round Leeds" and the name of John Lennox, 40 Commercial Street, Leeds. Lennox was a wholesale and retail stationer and printer, and presumably approached Cruchley to provide him with this specially adapted map for local sale. It is dissected into 32 linen-backed segments, folding into boards covered in black leather, gilt, and is in attractive original hand-colouring. There is no date, and although I have seen other examples attributed to 1865, it could be earlier.
 
G. Cruchley J. Cary    Cruchley's County Atlas of England & Wales 1863 (1787)
£30
26.5 x 21cm


In 1844 George Cruchley purchased G. and C. Cary's stock of printing plates, and set about changing the titles and imprints to continue their productive life under his own name. Whereas the Carys had used intaglio printing, Cruchley turned to the fast growing method of printing by lithographic transfer, which offered greater flexibility in making quick changes. Cary's New and Correct English Atlas, first published in 1787, was now relaunched in 1863 as Cruchley's County Atlas of England & Wales. The atlas title page and the titles of individual maps placed great stress upon the inclusion of railways and stations, as to be seen to be keeping pace with the fast growing national railway network was a marketing necessity. This example dates from this 1863 issue after which the map title was changed for later issues of the atlas up to at least 1876.

Cary's Traveller's Companion was first published in 1790 and marketed as a road book. The maps featured the whole county, but focused upon the main roads, which were shown with mileages along the route. The work proved an immediate success, so much so that by 1806 the printing plate was so worn that a new set of plates had to be engraved for the edition of that year. In 1822 a third set of plate was brought into use. The book continued to be popular, with its final edition being issued in 1862, now under the imprint of George Cruchley. This copy of the Hunts. map is from the edition of 1819. Original colour.

Road Maps

J. Cary    Cary's Suvey of the High Roads from London... 1801 (1790)
£60
12.5 x 19cm


Strips 19-22 - The Road from London to Tring. Cary's work was presumably intended to cover a regional need for road maps covering the main roads into and out of London from the home counties. It comprised 2 general maps, and 80 strip maps, printed two to one side of a sheet. The scale was a uniform one inch to the mile, and the 40 sheets covered roads to 26 locations. The maps are usually found in attractive, original colour, and show good detail along the routes, such as toll booths and gentlemen's houses. Unfortunatley Cary did not start each new road on a new page, or even a new strip, which can mean that, when separated, a small part of a road is included on the next sheet. These 2 pages comprise strips 19 to 21, which show most of the road from London to Tring, apart from the last 3 miles into Tring, which would be on strip 22. In compensation, strip 19 begins with the last 2 miles of the road from London to Amersham. The two sheets, which are from the 1801 edition of the work, are mounted and framed side by side.
