A scarce broadsheet plan of Georgian London

LE ROUGE, Georges-Louis.

[Untitled plan of London.]
Paris: Le Rouge, c.1760. Two plates on one sheet, total 430 x 280mm.

A plan of London from Knightsbridge in the west clockwise to Primrose Hill, Islington, Homerton, Stepney, Rotherhithe, Walworth, Vauxhall and Chelsea. The publisher's imprint is within the map. It is based on the central sections of John Rocque's 16-sheet map of the environs of London published 1746. However, because of the reduction in scale, the street names have been removed and placed in a separately-printed engraved key underneath, titled 'Table du Plan de Londres'. Also on the second plate is a description of the City of London.

Not in Howgego.
