Half calf over blue marbled boards, the spine in 6 compartments with raised bands, one with red morocco lettering piece, the others with repeat gilt decoration; rebacked, preserving original spine, corners and endpapers renewed. Of the 38 maps in this atlas, 29 show evidence of erasures of George Willdey's imprint in the cartouches. According to Evans & Lawrence, "Willdey's imprints have been erased [in the Jefferys 1749 edition], leaving many of the maps scarcely distinguishable from those of Lea's last edition in c. 1693; All Saxton's plates had reached their final state, cartographically, by c. 1693; alterations thereafter were minimal" (p. 58). The map of Cambridgeshire is by Jonas Moore, Hertfordshire by John Seller, Middlesex by John Ogilby and engraved by William Binneman, and the map of Devonshire was engraved by Francis Lamb.
