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.
