An uncommon antique map of London, with 24 vignette views of buildings.
Of interest is the attention paid to 'Projected Works', coloured yellow. These include: Regent's Park and the 'Intended Road' (Regent's Street); the 'Intended Regency Canal'; Waterloo Bridge (here with the original name of Strand Bridge, the year before it opened) and the southern approach roads; Vauxhall Bridge, and the Vauxhall Bridge Road; and the Duke of Bedford's development around Tavistock Square in Bloomsbury.
