Some Background Information About 'Curiosities of Great Britain'
This Book was first printed in London c.1835. It contained County Maps from the Cole and Roper plates, previously published some 25 years earlier in such as the BRITISH ATLAS of 1810. The maps were issued uncoloured. Some 250 small steel engraved views of English and Welsh Counties were also included.
Subsequent editions, issued in the 1840's, contained maps engraved by Joshua Archer of Pentonville, London. These we sometimes uncoloured, sometimes with Outline Colouring and less commonly, with Full Original Colour. As the editions progressed, further views were added and some were omitted. The total number of views remained constant at around 250.
The Welsh County Maps did not appear in every edition and to that extent are comparatively scarce.
THE IMAGES BELOW DEPICT THE VARIOUS STATES OF THE COUNTY MAPS
The maps had an overall size of some 10x8 inches, with an engraved area of c.9x7 inches.

Jacques Bossuet (1627 - 1704),
the French Bishop & author, wrote that Geography is one of the
principal eyes of History. Such is the fascination of old,
historical maps & engravings, that before emigrating, it became my
hobby to offer

friends.
