This series of miniature maps were drawn it is believed by Aristide Michel Perrot. They accompanied a topographical description of Great Britain by George Bernard Depping. He was a naturalised Frenchman who was born in Münster, Germany 1784 and became a professor of German and a member of the French Royal Society of Antiquaries. He died in 1853. Perrot was a geographer who produced a number of works related to this field. The maps appear to be the work of the Parisian engraver Adrien Migneret (1786-1840). Each is adorned with what appears to be unrelated imagery. A very nice example of the first edition. Provenance: private English collection. Carroll no. 83; not in Chubb.
