![Cary's Traveller's Companion, or, A Delineation of the Turnpike Roads of England & Wales [...]](jpegs/59721.jpg)
Cary's Traveller's Companion, or, A Delineation of the Turnpike Roads of England & Wales [...] [with] Cary's New Itinerary: or, An Accurate Delineation of the Great Roads, Both Direct and Cross, Throughout England and Wales; With many of the principal Roads in Scotland.... Second Edition with Improvements.
London. Printed for John Cary, Engraver, Map & Printseller, Strand. 1st Jan.y 1791. [&] London: Printed for John Cary, No. 181 Strand, 1802 [-3].
Two works in one; 8vo (180 x 120mm, 7 x 4¾"), original full diced calf travelling case with empty pockets front and back. 'Companion': engr. title, pp. (iv)+(6)+(2)(ads); index map, 42 maps printed back to back, 1 folding map. 'Itinerary': engr. title & dedication; pp. (iv)+(1)(ad)+868+(2)(ads). All maps with original hand colour. With the bookplate of Henry Pakenham-Mahon of Strokeston Park. Binding with tear to flap, some wear and fading. Folding map of Yorkshire with tear on fold; two folding maps of 'Itinerary' both trimmed to allow opening of segments, one segment loose, with tears on folds.
An unusual travelling edition of two works by John Cary. The 'Traveller's Companion' has a map of England and Wales, 41 counties and maps of North & South Wales. The 'Itinerary' has two road maps of England & Wales, with extensive indexes of the roads. The adverts list some of Cary's maps, with one page dedicated to his globes. The empty pockets in the covers would most likely contain larger folding maps not called for in either the 'Companion' or 'Itinerary'. Henry Pakenham-Mahon (1851-1922) was an amateur photographer: in 2012, a collection of 324 of his glass plates was uncovered at Strokestown Park including several explicit images of live models. Strokestown (in County Roscommon, Ireland) is now home to the National Irish Famine Museum. Henry's grandfather was Denis Mahon, whose responce to a rent strike by his tenants at Strokestown was to evict them and force them to sail to Quebec in 1847, filling four ships. When news came back to Ireland that nearly half the passengers had died on route (primarily from cholera) Mahon was ambushed and shot dead, to general celebration.
