J. Cary New and Correct English Atlas 1809 (1787)
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)
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)
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.

J. Cary Traveller's Companion 1822-28 (1790))
Cary's Traveller's Companion was first published in 1790. It proved very popular as a pocket road book, and ran to several editions up to c1828. The plates were re-engraved for the editions of 1806 and 1822. This example is from one of the four editions between 1822 and 1828. Original outline colour.

This map was first published in 1789 as part of a set of county maps included in the new Gough translation of Camden's Britannia. These maps were subsequently re-issued in 1805 as the British Atlas, from which this example emanates (so distinguished by the centrefold). Original outline colour.

This example of the Durham map is dated 1801, and would have come from the first full edition of the atlas issued in 1809. It is in original full colour. A slight crease across the top-right corner, and a repaired marginal tear not affecting the image, but otherwise a good copy.

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. Close trimmed to right hand border to fit publication, but not affecting printed area.
J. Cary New English Atlas 1811 (1809)
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. A light crease.
J. Cary New and Correct English Atlas 1809 (1787)
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.

Cary's large county maps were first issued individually from about 1801, before being collected into atlas format in 1809 under the title Cary's New English Atlas.

J. Cary A New Map of England and Wales with Part of Scotland 1794
Western Durham and parts of surrounding counties. This bound work comprised 81 contiguous map sheets, together with an index sheet. It covered all of England and Wales plus the southern half of Scotland. This is sheet 59 which includes the western two-thirds of Durham, and parts of Yorkshire, Westmorland and Northumberland. This copy is dated 1794, and is thus a first edition, in original outline colour. There were several later, updated editions.




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.
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.

J. Cary A Description of the Country from Thirty to Forty Miles Round Manchester 1795
West Riding. A Description of the Country …..Round Manchester was written by John Aikin and published in 1795 by John Stockdale. The work contained several maps including this one of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Although it bears no engraver's signature its style marks it out as being by John Cary who was associated with Stockdale in a number of projects. A repaired tear to the right-hand margin, just entering border, but otherwise in nice condition. Uncommon.

Cary's New and Correct English Atlas, first published in 1787, was now relaunched in 1863 as Cruchley's County Atlas of England & Wales. There were a number of further issues of the atlas up to at least 1876. Old repairs to centrefold tears leaving some brown marks.
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 (though the map bears the date 1805).
