Thomas Dugdale was an antiquarian who was responsible for the ‘Curiosities of Great Britain’. The work was issued with two distinct sets of maps. The first utilised those maps from the Cole and Roper atlas of 1810. This second series used a new series of maps engraved by John Archer and was first published in 1842. All examples lack a date of publication. This one is dated to c.1851 from an analysis of the railways present. Provenance: manuscript ownership inscription inside front cover of volume one dated 1869; private English collection. Beresiner pp. 46-7; Carroll no. 112.
