The copper plates utilised for George Cole and John Roper’s ‘British Atlas’ of 1810 passed into the hands of Tallis & Company in the early 1830s. In 1835 the plates were used to accompany Thomas Dugdale’s ‘Curiosities of Great Britain’. Dugdale was an antiquarian and this work was issued with two distinct sets of maps. The first used these maps from the Cole and Roper atlas of 1810. Provenance: ex libris W. W. Greener pasted inside front cover; private English collection. Beresiner pp. 88-90; Carroll no. 62; Chubb 465.
