A New and Accurate Plan of the City of Bath to the Present Year

Separately issued folding plan of Bath on linen focusing on the rapid developments of the city, particularly Sydney Place and Gardens and Lansdown Square.


This is part of a sequence of plans of Bath, with the first edition issued in 1793 and further editions in 1796, 1799 and a last one in 1805 although A. (Anna) Taylor's name is no longer on the map. Collectively, the plans record the rapid development of the city as it became a popular destination for the Georgian gentry.


R. (Robert) Hancock, the engraver is a notable figure in that field, a pioneer in the use of his engravings for transfer on Worcester Porcelain and later used by Sir Joshua Reynolds among others.
