Maps of London
Description: In the second half of the18th century, the introduction of turnpike roads and the increased coach-traffic in and out of London contributed to the popularity of the maps of the countryside around the capital. The title of this circular map runs along the top, with points on the compass marked on the border. A list of main roads to and from London is provided at bottom left, with a key at bottom right and scale bar below the plan.
