From ‘Ellis’s English Atlas’ by John Ellis (fl.1750 d.1796) which was engraved in the style of Thomas Kitchin as seen in the latter’s ‘England Illustrated’ of 1764. Ellis’ work was first published in around 1765 as the ‘New English Atlas’ which survives in just the one known example. Those plates which bear no engravers imprint are accepted to be engraved by him in this example of the Channel Islands. Hodson no. 238; Kingsley 44.
