An UNRECORDED state. Rodney Shirley in his ‘Printed Maps of the British Isles 1650-1750’ cited two states of this map and only the one known example surviving, in its presumed second state, at the University Library, Leiden. Although that example is dated 1731 the engraver Sutton Nicholls was active at an earlier date and Shirley records he died somewhere between 1721 and 1731. This is a derivative of Morden and Paske’s exceedingly rare map of c.1690. The main roads are depicted as are the lesser roads in a different manner. Mileages are marked too. Major harbours are marked by anchors. Like the Leiden example ours dated 1740 bears side panels of alphabetical tables and coats of arms of 87 shire and towns. Refer Shirley Overton 8.
