Cumberland
Only one design of a map of Cumberland is known, but it seems to have been printed in two editions, both of 777 copies. It is also possible that the same design was printed in two batches with different colours but I suspect, to keep down costs, Carr would have the whole edition printed at once.

Notes: This map is the same design as the first impression above, but has been printed in colours, especially the water around the coast, indicating that it is a later impression of the same design. Whereas Carr usually designed a new edition of a map, this seems to be an example of a map published in two limited editions of 777 sheets.
