There are in fact four meridians that pass through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich: the first was Flamsteed's, established in 1675 and named for the celebrated Astronomer Royal; the second was established by Edmund Halley in 1725; the third after James Bradley; and the fourth in 1851 by Sir George Airy. This last was designated the Prime Meridian at an international conference in Washington in 1884, even though France continued to use their own meridian in creating maps for several decades to come.

Henceforth, the quality of his engraving established new standards and a new style, with his effective, starkly beautiful, plain design being widely adopted. His firm's cartographic output was prolific and diverse, ranging through maps, plans, atlases, astronomical and educational works, road-books (including works based on surveys by Aaron Arrowsmith the elder, who probably trained him), guides, and globes. Particularly noteworthy are the immensely popular New and Correct English Atlas (editions from 1787), which became the standard county atlas of the period, and the Traveller's Companion (from 1790), the printing plates of both of which had to be replaced having become worn in the effort to meet the huge demand, and the particularly fine New English Atlas (from 1801) and New Universal Atlas (from 1808)" (David Smith for DNB).

Periodic light marking to the map face but nothing significant. Light spotting to reverse of pieces other than the top right one with has a little patch of water staining to the reverse but map face unaffected. Outline colouring, along with green for parks and red for major towns.

Highly detailed as always with Cary's maps, and with the map subdivided makes it more manageable to handle. Rigid slipcase with labels to side partially lost. Owner's coat of arms to front, again rather worn. Casing very scuffed, with surface loss and splits to some edges but structurally rigid and sound. A lovely example, rarely seen in this form. (Note: the green tint on one of the accompanying photos is an image processing fault and is not a tint on the actual map). Further details available on request. (Ud1).
