A detailed county map of Yorkshire, from 'Cary's New and Correct English Atlas'. John Cary (1755-1835) was an English cartographer, engraver, globe maker and publisher, often working with his brothers George and Francis.

He is best known for his English county atlases, particularly Cary's New and Correct English Atlas, published in 1787-1789, and the miniature Traveller's Companion. He also engraved the plates for Robert Gough's edition of Camden's Britannia, which was published in 1806. Condition: Trimmed to platemark at top and bottom, as issued. Minor dirt staining to sheet.
