An extended edition of this plan of London in 1836

MOGG, Edward.

Mogg's Strangers Guide To London. Exhibiting all the various Alterations & Improvements complete to the Present Time. Extended to Greenwich and Blackwall.
London, 1836. Original colour. Dissected and laid on linen, as issued. Total 500 x 805mm.

A fine and detailed map of London published the year before Queen Victoria came to the throne. This example is not the standard edition: it has been extended east to encompass the Isle of Dogs and Greenwich Park.
Of interest is the addition of the London and Greenwich Railway, the first steam railway to have a terminus in London, London Bridge Station, which opened in December that year. Also Trafalgar Square is marked four years before construction started.
Underneath the map is a 500-point key with references to the grid on the map, which does not include the extension.

HOWGEGO: 238, variant of state 8, noted as 'B.M. copy has additional section'.
