Description
An 18th century map of Yorkshire by renowned cartographer, John Cary. John Cary was a very important English cartographer, who published "The New and Correct English Atlas" in 1787. It was revolutionary in its time. It abandoned the elaborate decoration and mythical animals which adorned earlier maps in favour of a more detailed, accurate and scientific approach. His work became the standard which other cartographers were to follow, including Ordnance Survey. The atlas was very popular and several editions were printed. This example however is dated 1787.
