Note:
This is the first issue of this map; a second edition was published in 1816 (see our 6706.000), which was updated to show the new boundaries resulting from the Treaty of Paris of November 1815. This 1812 edition has the pre treaty boundaries, which are most evident along the boundary of Germany and France. "Arrowsmith was soon recognized in Britain and abroad as a cartographer of outstanding accuracy and skill and was accorded the title of hydrographer to the prince regent about 1810 and that of hydrographer to the king in 1820. His maps were in great demand by official bodies such as the Admiralty and, more surprisingly given their great size and hence cost, with the public as well. In 1807 he published his map of Scotland, based on the military survey of Scotland of 1745-55 and of particular interest for the accompanying Memoir (1809) in which he described how he constructed the map. His last major work was his map of India (1822). He engraved and printed many of his own maps and all of those produced in his shop (at 10 Soho Square from 1814) were noted for the functional beauty and simplicity with which they were engraved" (Elizabeth Baigent for DNB). Two flaps extend the map to northern Italy.
