The maps for this very rare atlas were issued separately first then bound together as ‘A Complete Atlas of the English Counties’. The work was begun by Thomas Dix but had to be completed by William Darton. Dix (c.1769-1813) worked as a surveyor and is recorded working in Norfolk. Darton, father and son, were both called William. They were active publishers in London at the time and are to be credited for completing this wonderful rare work. Chubb 387.
