A New And Correct Map Of Thirty Miles Around London ...
|
A magnificent circular map of the environs of London, flanked by an indexed list of places keyed to the map. The whole is decorated with a small panorama of London, an emblematic image of Britain's naval power and mercantile wealth, and allegorical figures set in a pastoral landscape. The map extends north to Stevenage, south to East Grinstead, east to Rochester and west to Maidenhead. Concentric circles radiate from the city centre at 5 mile intervals. Decorative and detailed, the map is augmented by the addition of George Willdey's advertising puff with illustrations of a selection of wares; from a microscope and globe to a flintlock and jewellery available with "many other beautyfull and Correct Maps" at "The Toy and Print Shop" in Ludgate Street.
