From the ‘England Displayed’. John Rocque was a Huguenot who at an early age settled in England. By 1734 he was a surveyor, engraver and publisher. His most important English county contribution was a series of maps first published in the ‘English Traveller’, 1746. This is extremely rare and was followed by their inclusion in ‘The Small British Atlas’ , 1753. A less well known publication by P. Russell and Owen Price entitled ‘England Displayed’ in 1769 also included the plates. This example is from the latter work. Hodson 203.
