World atlas sheets and Scottish county maps both appear among these maps by Daniel Lizars (1793–1875), the Edinburgh publisher of the Lizars family workshop, who worked alongside his brother, the engraver William Home Lizars. The maps run from 1819 to 1895, some issued under the Lizars credit long after Daniel's death. European states and American, Asian and African regions sit beside detailed Scottish counties with parish divisions and railways, including maps associated with Francis H. Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland, published by Thomas C. Jack. Daniel's role was that of publisher; he did not engrave every plate himself.
