Published
A Topographical Dictionary of England and Wales comprising the several counties, cities, boroughs... in 4 volumes
First published by S. Lewis & Co in 1831 with further editions in 1833 and 1840, 1842, 1845 and 1849. The maps are drawn by R. Creighton and engraved by T. Starling and J. & C. Walker
Maps from the Topographical Dictionary provide the map collector with a series of clearing engraved detailed maps of both the counties of England and Wales. There was also a similar atlas of Ireland illustrated with county maps of Ireland in 1837. I have seen uncoloured copies of the maps as well as maps with original outline hand colouring. You will of course come across specimens with later hand colouring. The maps vary in size but are quite easy to identify as under each map you will find the text Drawn and Engraved for Lewis' Topographical Dictionary.
The maps are fairly easily found and relatively low in price. The Irish county maps can be a little more expensive.

I have been buying and selling antique maps since the early 1960's during which time I had a gallery in Watergate Street, Chester for 30 years. I am now able to offer through my websites a personal service to map and print collectors.
