About This Item
London., 1811. Clear and accurate map of early nineteenth century Switzerland coloured by canton. Four scales at lower centre, title at top left, and some 'Observations' at top right about the 'Thirteen Cantons of Switzerland.' John Cary was considered 'the most representative, able and prolific of English cartographers'. Tooley says, 'As an engraver he was elegant and exact with fine clear lettering and great delicacy of touch'. When the Ordnance Survey began accurately mapping the UK, they used John Cary's style as the basis for their work. Copper engraving. Original colour. Fine condition. Size: 52 x 46 cm.
