J. Wallis W. Reid    The Panorama or Travellers' Instructive Guide 1820
£35
10.5 x 7cm


Maps for this miniature atlas were probably drawn and engraved by James Wallis, though alternative imprints serve to confuse the issue, some crediting Wallis as the printer and W. Reid as the publisher, and other listing Wallis and C. Hinton as co-publishers. It is most likely that Hinton had an early interest in the project, but dropped out before publication in 1820 to be replaced by Reid. Ownership of the plates later passed to Hodgson and Co. who issued a further edition with slightly amended title in 1825. This example, in original bright colour, has no imprints, and is from the 1820 first edition..
