One in a private collection and this example. There are no institutional copies recorded. The maps were originally published by T. Laurie Murray in 'An Atlas of English Counties' which was first issued in 1830. What happened to Murray's plates is not known and William Robson is not even listed in 'Tooley's Dictionary of Mapmakers'. He did publish commercial directories from 1819 to about 1842 and it appears that he issued some of Murray's maps separately. Several of the maps in this atlas have William Robson's imprint with all traces of the Murray publication line removed.
