Road map, uncoloured engraving, A New Map of England and Wales, scale about 20 miles to 1 inch, by John Cary, published by G and J Cary, 86 St James's Street, London, 11th edn 1828.
The map is an index map for Cary's New Itinerary, 11th edn, 1828, having route references printed by roads on the map. It shows the principal roads of the country graded as Direct, Mail, or Cross roads. The map seems to be printed on two pieces of paper which are tipped in to face each other at the end of the preface.
(I have not found out what map/s exist in the first, 1798, and other editions of the itinerary.)
