Original outline colour; short tear to lower edge of bottom margin, repaired, signs of old folds (pre-publication) on verso, light marginal spotting, otherwise a very good example.
A fine and detailed map of Bedfordshire. Published by John Hinton (1st state). The production history of the 'Large English Atlas' was not an easy one and appeared to be plagued with financial difficulties. In 1752 or 1753, with only 28 county plates completed, Hinton finally sold his ailing project to the printseller John Tinney. In 1755 or 1756 Tinney was joined in a partnership by Thomas Bowles, John Bowles and Son and Robert Sayer. Their imprint was to be added to the new maps for publication in 1758, although any book production still lacked a title-page. John Tinney died in 1761 and it wasn't until 1762 that the atlas was finally completed together with the title-page with his name omitted. This map is an early example and a pre-complete atlas issue.
