A lovely plan of this part of London, with key buildings drawn in miniature onto the map. Dedicated by an inscription running along the bottom to Robert Scott Esq, whose coat of arms it may be in top right corner. Title in decorative cartouche in top left corner, scale at centre bottom and compass rose to left of plan. Vignette views of the churches of ‘St. James’s Duke’s Place’ and ‘St. Catherine Coleman’.
Good condition, despite some spotting mainly confined to the margins.
