SIZE: The sheet measures: 13" x 10" (33 x 25.5 cm), the map image: 9 1/2" x 8 1/4" (24 x 21 cm). CARTOGRAPHER: Robert Wilkinson (fl. c. 1768 - 1825) map maker and atlas publisher. Wilkinson's maps were mainly derived from English map publisher John Bowles' map plate library which he acquired following his death in 1779. Wilkinson updated the plates until 1794 when he released The General Atlas of the World and were subsequently reissued until Wilkinson's death in 1825. Wilkinson's offices were located at No.58, Cornhill, London from 1792 - 1816, after which he relocated to 125 Frenchurch Street, London, until 1823. Wilkinson's business and map plates were acquired by William Darton Jr following his death, who reissued his General Atlas. Wilkinson's other works include; Bowen and Kitchin's Large English Atlas (1785), Speer's West Indies (1796), Atlas Classica (1797), and independently issued maps of New Holland (1820) and North America (1823). ENGRAVER: Thomas Conder (c.1750-1831) son of John Conder (1741-1781) Teacher and Independant minister at Cambridge and brother to James Conder (1761-1823) businessman and Numismatist whoÕs name is given to a category of token coins known as Conder tokens. Thomas was apprenticed to stationer Cornelius Berry and then turned over to engraver and mapseller, Thomas Bowen Kitchin (fl.1766-1781), son of Thomas Kitchin and grandson of Emanuel Bowen. Thomas Conder was an active Noncormist, engraver, cartographer, bookseller and printseller, with London premises in Aldersgate, followed by Upper Thames Street, then Bucklersbury. He retired in 1811 and his son, editor, author, Congregationalist and abolitionist, Josiah Conder (1789-1855), continued the bookselling business until 1819. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most of maps we sell come from ancient atlases that were damaged and beyond repair.
