A very fine large-scale map of London, showing (clockwise from left) Hammersmith, Crouch End, Greenwich & Mitcham.
We have estimated the date of this edition by the appearance of Lambeth Bridge under construction (opened 1862).
The printing plates for this plan were also used to print Booth's 'Descriptive Map of London Poverty', the famous landmark in social mapping, published 1889.
