Add to basketOriginal hand-coloured engraved plan of London (76 x 110 cm) extending from Hampstead in the north to Camberwell in the south, the East India Docks in the east and Shepherds bush in the west. Dissected into 36 sections and mounted onto linen, with descriptive 'ingenious Scale and Key' beneath 'for ascertaining distances in any direction at one view'. Some slight wear along folds, generally a most attractive example. The key explains that the map was based upon a new survey by John Outhett who, as the note beneath the title explains, based the map upon the trigonometric survey by General William Roy (who inspired the original Ordnance Survey) and extended by a recent survey by Mr. Findlay. Howgego 361 (3).
