Thomas Dix initiated this atlas project some time around 1816, but after his death it was carried on to completion by the publisher William Darton. The Atlas was issued in 1822, though individual maps from the first edition bear various dates between 1816 and 1821. Apart from the atlas format the maps were also sold individually, usually dissected and linen-backed and folding into boards. This example is unusual. It is an early issue, dated 1819, and is linen-backed but not dissected. It would appear to have been sold singly, and although there are old, probably original folds, there is no sign of boards. It was purchased with six other Dix county maps similarly presented, one of which bears the manuscript signature of J. Walker and the date 13th Jan 1825. The set were of contiguous eastern counties, and may have been bought by Mr Walker to assist his travels in this area. As is usually the case, the map is in attractive and original full wash colour, and all editions are relatively scarce.
T. Dix W. Darton Sold individually in card covers titled simply "Surrey" c1835 (1822)
Thomas Dix initiated this atlas project some time around 1816, but after his death it was carried on to completion by the publisher William Darton. The finished atlas (titled A Complete Atlas of the English Counties) was issued in 1822, though first editions of individual maps bear various dates between 1816 and 1821. The atlas was re-published in 1835 under a new title and with a number of changes to the maps. Around this time the maps were also offered for sale individually, dissected and linen-backed, and folding into card covers, as with this example. They are very attractive, with topographical vignettes and in original full wash colour, and are relatively scarce.

The Atlas was issued in 1822, though individual maps from the first edition bear various dates between 1816 and 1821. This example is from the later edition of the atlas, published in c1835 for which imprint dates were removed from the maps, titles were changed and electoral information was added. As here, the maps are usually found in attractive and original full wash colour, and all editions are relatively scarce.
