Small size cloth-backed version of a reproduction by Old Folding Maps of A New Map of London around 1800, published by Robert Laurie & James Whittle. The map shows the capital with its main streets & access roads already coloured in as on present-day mapping.

Coverage extends north to Kentish Town & Newington Green; east to Bow, Blackwell & Greenwich; south to Peckham, Camberwell & Battersea; & west to include most of Kensington Gardens. This reproduction was taken from what used to be called a “cloth-dissected” map, made when the map itself was cut into sections & each section then individually pasted onto an overall cloth backing for the whole map. In this version the whole map is backed onto cloth in one piece but the gaps between the sections have been reproduced in the printing to preserve the style & the feeling of the original. Each individual map is presented folded in a colourful case covered with a unique design marbled paper – no two cases are identical.PLEASE NOTE: this title is also available in a larger size. To see the list of all the titles in this series from Old Folding Maps please click on the series link. ...
