John Cary (1754-1835)
Profile :
Many regard John Cary as one of the finest English cartographers of his time. His maps are not decorative in the 17th century sense but he came to on the scene at a time when the large-scale English county maps had recently become available. His fine craftsmanship and ability as an engraver enabled him to produce not only fine English county maps but also world atlases, road maps, town and canal plans sea charts and terrestrial and celestial globes
