Map, hand coloured engraving, A New Map of the Counties
of Cumberland and Westmoreland Divided into their Respective
Wards, scale about 4 miles to 1 inch, by Emanuel Bowen and
Thomas Kitchin et al, published by T Bowles, Robert Sayer,
and John Bowles, London, 1760.
The imprint at the bottom has names deleted, perhaps John
Tinney and 'and Son' from John Bowles. The map was first
published in the Large English Atlas, 1760, whose origins go
back to 1749. This version of the map probably comes from
the 1785 edition.
The map has a dedication to Sir James Lowther.
