About this Item

Original hand-coloured engraved map of present day Greater London (88 x 84 cm) dissected into 45 sections and backed onto linen, attractively edged with green silk and folding between blue card covers into original cloth slipcase (worn) with engraved title-label. Extends from Edmonton in the north to Croydon in the South, Plumstead Marshes in the east and Barnes in the west. Slipcase cracked and with partial loss, map itself with just some light toning but generally in very good condition. A well-preserved example of an interesting map encompassing most of what is now considered to be Greater London. (Howgego, 250, 4a).
