This charming map of Cheshire orientated with east at the top is from William Green’s ‘Picture of England’ printed in 1804. It was first issued in Robert Butters’ ‘An Atlas of England’ the previous year. Butters (fl. 1785-1808) was a printer in London and this is his only atlas work although he was involved in the ‘Political Magazine’. The ‘Picture of England’ was published by John Hatchard (1769-1849), founder of the bookshop which still bears his name. Refer Carroll 58; Whittaker 292.
