Although first published in 1829 the maps for the Teesdale atlas were in fact first issued in Robert Rowe’s “English Atlas” published in 1816. Only two examples of that atlas survive. Rowe (c.1775-1843) is recorded as an engraver and it is possible that he was responsible for these plates. It was Henry Teesdale (fl.1828-45) however who made the most use of the plates with the “New British Atlas” being published through 1842. This example of Yorkshire is the largest map in the atlas and needed to be so to cover the largest county in the country. Beresiner pp. 190 & 227-9; Carroll 71; Chubb 410.
