Description: London, Smith. 1880. Book, Map of the Environs of London published by W H Smith London circa 1880. On folding paper size 86 by 76 cm. Scale one inch to the mile. A key provides information on railroads; turnpike roads; cross roads; rivers & streams; Gentlemen's seats; woods; county boundaries etc. Covers an area from Chesham across to Epping in the north and from Woking to Knockholt in Kent in the south. Full colour. Some nicks to edges and weaknesses to folds have been repaired with clear archival standard tape to the reverse. From the style and subject matter in the key this would seem to be a late Victorian publication that partly updates a much earlier map. Folds into stiff red boards. Good condition. Images available.
