A rare and most interesting large-scale map illustrating the development of early eighteenth-century London extending from Grosvenor Square to Wapping, and from Clerkenwell and Hoxton in the north to the South Bank and Lambeth. As a separately-issued and large map, printed on four sheets with two half sheets of index key, this is in overall very good condition with a few expert repairs to inevitable tears. This fascinating map is detailed with major buildings illustrated in profile and panels of text describing the city's history, watermen's and cabmen's fares, and an explanation of the map's grid system, along with an extensive gazetteer. The map has a confusing genesis, having been published originally by George Willdey in 1723 and reissued by him dated 1735. After Willdey's death, the plates came into the possession of Thomas Jefferys who updated the map without updating the actual date in the title piece - a most irregular practice in map publishing as maps would more often have dates corrected with no other alteration. The map illustrates clearly the developing West End with Mayfair and the streets north of Oxford Street part built, while in the East End Hoxton and Whitechapel take shape.
