Engraved map with original hand colour. 90 x 90mm (3½ x 3½"). Trimmed into plate on left, losing another image or map, small skinned area in map, a small hole in unprinted area of plate, others in top margin.
A very rare map of Lancashire within a circle, marking the roads. Samuel Darton is likely to be Samuel (1785-1840), the son of Quaker publisher William Darton, who specialised in publications for children, although the date of publication of this map would make him 15 at the time. He officially joined the family firm in 1810. The map is unlikely to have come from an atlas, as there is no equivalent map of Devon in Kit Batten's extensive cartobibliography.
