Folding map. Slipcase torn and in poor condition, though label is better preserved. Map consists of hand coloured sections laid down on linen. Map title above top border. Table of references to public buildings at top left, and to churches at top right. The map is divided into squares numbered for reference. The main table of references is below the map outside the border.
There is no key to the stippling or symbols used ( Howgego pp134-5). |
Recorded in Howgego as No. 184 (4), this beautiful late 18th century map of London in is excellent condition for its age, with only one significant stain on the map on the Earls Court sections. Of great interest is the List of 528 Principal Streets, and the References to Churches and Public
Buildings.
This is a very rare and beautiful map. I do hope that you enjoy it.
