Stebbing Shaw (1762-1802) was a historian born in Staffordshire. He became a fellow of Queen's College Cambridge in 1786 and was ordained in in the same year. In the 1790s he became inspired to produce a history of Staffordshire. In 1795 he was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. The first volume was published in 1798 but shortly after his health started failing. A second volume was published in 1801 but his death on 28 October 1802 left the whole work incomplete. The large folding map of the county is a reduction of that by William Yates published in 1775. It was engraved by Thomas Foot (fl.1790-1825), who became the principal engraver for the Ordnance Survey in 1801. However, in 1804 he was imprisoned for debt. King states that the Shaw issues lack the words 'Planned by a Scale of Two Miles to an Inch', however here they are present. Bound into the second volume is a fine folding plan of Wolverhampton by Isaac Taylor. Provenance: with bookplate of John Wells Esq.
