About This Item
London : G. W. Bacon & Co., [ca.1905]. An attractively produced map - the south-east portion of the Greater London area on a scale of one-inch to the mile (1:63360) - extending from Rainham in Essex to the north, across to Chatham and Maidstone in Kent, south to include Sevenoaks and Westerham, and west to take in Croydon, Crystal Palace, Sydenham, Peckham, etc. Expressly designed for cyclists and tourists, the major roads and railways are given due prominence, the former giving indications of hills to be attempted with caution, and those considered downright dangerous. Lithograph in two colours on paper. Printed surface 53 x 73 (approx. 21" x 29"). Mounted on linen and folding into the original green cloth case, pictorially blocked in black and red with a scene depicting turn-of-the-century cyclists; a few very minor signs of age and use, a few slight creases, but overall in very good and clean state. A guaranteed genuine antique map. No copy located in major libraries.
