Bell & Daldy, London, 1855

Original Hand Coloring, Very good, folding map laid down on contemporary canvas., Size : 1020x1370 (mm), 40.16x53.94 (Inches)

This very decorative and large-scale mid-19th century map (engraved on copper by Thomas Sherralt) represents London at the time of Henry VIII (circa 1517), from Westminster Abbey to the Tower. A pink line represents the area destroyed by the Great Fire of 1666. A decorative border encases the map, illustrated by the royal coat of arms, important English shields, the names of important Englishmen and kings, and allegorical figures around the title cartouche. Two indexes sit in the upper corners, a compass rose and scale sit beneath the upper right index, and a dedicatory cartouche sits in the lower right. The map folds and is backed by dark navy cloth.

The map is accompanied by a historical text by William Newton, \"London in the Olden Time.\" It is in matching dark navy cloth, a small folio. Paginated x, 120 pp. The whole comes in a navy cloth case with the title gilt on the upper board. Unlike the map, the cloth case is scuffed and rubbed at the extremities, in good condition.
