Large folding map (870 x 550 mm.), printed in two sheets, joined, dissected, backed on contemporary linen. In early outline colour. With very minor foxing. This fine large map of Wales was first published in 1804 in Charles Smith's 'New English Atlas'. A second edition was published in 1808 and it is from this edition that this map is taken. Smith (fl.1799-1852) and John Cary were great rivals in the first half of the nineteenth century. Cary would produce a similar atlas in 1809. Smith's maps bear the distinction of being the first to show longitudes from the meridian of Greenwich Observatory. Provenance: public auction. Chubb (1927) 311.

He wrote and published in 1996 and 2007 the definitive two volume treatise entitled ?The Mapping of North America?.
