There are 2 maps which are reproductions of much earlier maps - one from 1560: London in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth - CIVITAS LONDINVM AD MDLX. This measures 51" x 19.5". The second is from 1720: A PLAN OF THE CITY'S of LONDON, WESTMINSTER and Borough of Southwark, with the bnew additional buildings, Anno, 1720. This measures 27.5" x 21".   The final map is a 'New' map, from the 1870s; 'New Map of London Divided into Half-Mile Squares & Circles. Scale 4 inches to the mile. ' This shows the massive expansion of London, particularly south of the river. It measures 40" x 30". All 3 maps are in very good condition, with almost no damage save some age discolouration and some very small holes on the corner folds. Please take a look at my other items.
