Robert Baugh (1750-1832) was a surveyor and engraver and produced John Evan’s large-scale map of the six counties of North Wales along with its reduction in 1797. This map of Shropshire unusually extends into the neighbouring counties of Warwickshire, Staffordshire, and Montgomery. This also enabled a better illustration of the transport network access provided by the county. The map is dedicated to the Earl of Powis. This example is overlayed with outline colouring highlighting the railways later built. A very fine large inset view of the English Bridge in Shrewsbury completed in 1774. There is only the one edition of the map. Despite Baugh only producing two maps, the quality of his engraving here was rewarded with an award of 15 guineas by the Society of Arts.
