A highly decorative map of London, the map shows from Hyde Park Corner, clockwide to Sadler’s Wells, Mile End Road & Lambeth. Three large cartouches contain the title, the City Arms, and a dedication to George Thorold, the Lord Mayor.
Could you please show the bloody map? Ornaments good and whatever but i want to see the full map
I don’t see any date on the map, but George Thorold was mayor of London 1719-1720.
You really didn’t need to split this in two and cut off a good part of it..
If you actually want to look properly at this map, this is quite a good example:

Amazing map
I initially thought this was going to be a map made by a Georgian rather than during the reign of George III
It’s always fun looking at old London maps from the 1800s & seeing that places like Acton, Croydon & Barking were their own towns in Middlesex, Surrey & Essex respectively, separate from the London sprawl. By the 1920s, they were swallowed up by the London sprawl & by 1964, they became parts of London officially
