Following the success of the earlier published ‘Large English Atlas’, Bowen and Kitchin undertook a smaller version entitled the ‘Royal English Atlas’. It was not a commercial success and as such is much rarer than its predecessor. Indeed the first edition is only known in 6 examples. The imprint below the map indicates that this map is a first state example as only issued in the first edition. The imprint bears a wonderful collection of cartographers of the day including the names of Henry Overton, John Bowles, Carington Bowles, John Ryall, Robert Sayer and Thomas Kitchin. Hodson III 233 p. 23 state 1; Shirley BL T.Bow-4a.
