PART OF THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE

An engraved map of the southern half of the West Riding. Title panel and compass rose combined. Publisher's imprint dated 1793. 10 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches. Original outline hand colouring. The top blank margin has been replaced and the left hand side margined has been widened a little. I have dated this map 1802 because the many of the other maps in the atlas were watermarked with the date of 1802. The titlepage of the atlas was dated 1793.

Cemetery Woodhouse, Town Hall, St.Peter’s Church, Mill Hill Chapel, Kirkstall Abbey, Wellington Bridge, New Gaol and Knostrop Cut. Some light hand colouring the central city area and the vignette views. The plan has a brown outer line cause by it being in a sunk mount at sometime. So it would be best if the plan was again put into a mount before framing. Traces of small pieces tape in the two top corners remaining from the plan being in a mount. Original centre fold.

PART OF THE WEST RIDING YORKSHIRE

The FIRST EDITION of this detailed engraved map of the northern half of the Riding. Title panel and compass rose combined. Cary's imprint beneath dated 1787. 10 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches. Original outline hand colouring with some additional more modern hand colouring. The map is in an old ivory tint sunk mount with wash and line border. The mount is probably good enough to continue using when framing. The mount however, does obscure the publisher’s imprint dated 1787 beneath the map. The map is mid toned all over caused by it getting too much light. This is revealed when you look at the portions of the map hidden under the mount. Good condition.
