Early 19th-century engraved map of Devonshire, beautifully hand-coloured and removed from an English county atlas of the period (Cary style, c. 1800–1820). This is an authentic copperplate engraving, not a reproduction. The map shows detailed roads, towns, and hundreds, with a clear and readable “Explanation” key and mileage scale at the bottom.
The engraving is mounted in a clean mat for display and protection (mat can be easily replaced if desired).
