Many of his maps derive from work of John Elphinstone who's map of Scotland engraved by Kitchin and published in 1745 showed a considerable improvement on earlier maps, and was used by both sides in the Jacobite rebellion.

These county maps are from "Geographiae Scotiae: Being new and correct maps of all the counties and islands in the kingdom of Scotland..." Published in 1749

Joseph von Reilly was a Viennese art dealer who in his early twenties turned to map publishing, and between the years 1789 and 1806 produced a total of no less than 830 maps. His Schauplatz...der Welt (World Atlas) in fact only covered Europe, while the Grosser Deutscher Atlas also included maps of other continents and was, therefore, the first World Atlas produced by an Austrian.
