E. Langley W. Belch    Langley's New County Atlas of England and Wales 1820 (1818)
£50
17.5 x 31cm


Langley and Belch were in partnership from 1807 to 1820, and published their county atlas in 1818. The maps are attractive, with topograhical vignettes (in this case Eton College from the River Thames), and usually found in original full wash colour as here. After the dissolution of their partnership the map plates seem to have passed to the bookseller Joseph Phelps. Phelps re-issued the atlas in 1820, but also made the maps available singly, dissected, linen-backed and folding into slip cases. This is such an example with Phelps imprint to the map, and his sales label to the accompanying slip case. Slight print offsetting.

Langley's county atlas was first published in 1818 by Edward Langley and William Belch, who were in partnership from 1807-1820. This example is from the second edition of the atlas published by Joseph Phelps in 1820, shortly after the dissolution of the partnership. Phelps name now appears on the imprint in place of the original partners, but the atlas title is still attributed to Langley. The maps from the work are attractive, with topograhical vignettes (in this case St. Vincent's Rock and Hot Wells, Bristol), and usually found in original full wash colour.

£35
17.5 x 30.5cm


Langley and Belch were in partnership from 1807 to 1820, and published their county atlas in 1818. The maps are attractive, with topographical vignettes (though in this case showing cider making rather than the usual view), and usually found in original full wash colour as here. After the dissolution of their partnership the map plates seem to have passed to the bookseller Joseph Phelps. Phelps re-issued the atlas in 1820, but also made the maps available singly, dissected, linen-backed and folding into slip cases - initially still with the Langley and Belch imprint, and subsequently with his own. This is such an example with Langley and Belch imprint to the map dated 1818, and with Phelp's sales label to the accompanying slip case. Slight print offsetting.
