MAPS AND ATLASES

KITCHIN (THOMAS) Kitchin's Pocket Atlas, of the Counties of South Britain or England and Wales, Drawn to One Scale, engraved title, 58 engraved maps (comprising 55 called for by Chubb, and additional maps of Anglesey, Brecknockshire and the Channel Islands), some double-page or folding, 2 with short tears at folds, book label of Jon. Lacy, contemporary half calf [Chubb CCXXXV], oblong 8vo (as 4to), for the Author, and J. Capper, 1769

Footnotes

"A very rare and, apparently, apparently unknown atlas... the maps are similar to those engraved by Kitchin and issued in England Illustrated, 1764; but on a slightly smaller scale" (Chubb). Originally printed with some mapsheets having two maps these have been cut and mounted on stubs as independent maps in this copy. It has two maps, Brecknock and Anglesey, not called for by Chubb, and a mapsheet of the Channel Islands (printed recto and verso) printed by Robert Sayer and Carington Bowles.
