A fascinating map of Westminster, showing in detail the maze of streets at the heart of London, although the map shows that at this time Tottenham Court Road led out into open space and green fields! Title in pretty, decorative cartouche in top right corner, compass rose in top left.
Very good condition, slight browning mainly confined to margins.
