Following the success of the earlier published ‘Large English Atlas’, Emanuel Bowen and Thomas 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 from the extremely rare final edition by R Martin in 1828. Indeed Hodson only records FOUR KNOWN EXAMPLES.
