Authentic late-18th-century edition of Cary’s New Itinerary, one of the most important British road atlases ever published.
Compiled from actual surveys by John Cary, under authority of the Postmaster General, this volume details the official post roads, cross routes, distances, inns, and towns throughout England, Wales, Scotland, and the Isle of Wight.
Includes multiple original fold-out engraved maps, all present.
Full leather binding with heavy wear consistent with age. Spine intact and readable. Pages show expected toning and foxing but the book remains complete and solid.
An exceptional piece for collectors of antique maps, travel history, British history, or decorative antique books.
