Quarto (235 x 185 mm.), nineteenth century half red calf, red cloth boards with gilt 'Atlas' embossed to upper board, ornate blind ruled and gilt decorated spine with title, light wear. With early endpapers, engraved title page, engraved Contents leaf and 45 engraved maps including 1 large folding general map of England and Wales with minor tear where bound in and 44 single page maps of North and South Wales and the English counties, all in early wash colour, in good condition. Henry Teesdale (fl.1828-45) a successful publisher in London is best known for two English County atlases. In 1829 he acquired the county plates to Robert Rowe's exceedingly rare 'English Atlas' and after revision published them as the 'New British Atlas'. Encouraged by its undoubted success he embarked on a reduced sized county atlas which he published the following year entitled 'A New Travelling Atlas'. In this work the roads are made the principal feature. The engraved title page bears an attractive vignette above the imprint displaying five cherubs being educated in geography. The maps bear a distinct piano keyboard design. For some reason it was not a great success, at least judging from the fact that only two examples survive: Cambridge University Library and a private English collection. For the second edition in 1843, plate numbers were added, as were railways in the counties where they had been introduced. It appears that he took in a partner D. W. Martin which might explain the possible delay in publication. Chubb pointed out that the Cambridge map bears the London to Cambridge Railway which was officially opened July 1845. This later title page bears across the top 'This Edition Contains All The Railways'. We have identified two issues of this edition, this being the earlier one. The later issue bears the latest railways added to several maps. Only A HANDFUL OF EXAMPLES survive. Provenance: manuscript ownership marks of 'Mark Wm. Hunter from Mark Woodhouse' '- 'Re-bound 1888', all in the same hand. Burgess (2004) no. 124.ii; Carroll (1996) no. 92.2; refer Chubb (1927) no. 418; Worms & Baynton-Williams (2011).…
