Map of London, From an actual Survey made in the Years 1824.1825 & 1826. By C. and J. Greenwood. Published by the Proprietors... August 21 1827.
Pub Note:
First edition published 1827. In six uncut, unjoined, and uncolored sheets (the map in this form, six separate sheets, is very rare). The survey was original to the Greenwoods and at a larger scale than the Ordnance Survey maps of the time. Very detailed depiction of London, showing central London and surrounding areas. See our 10242.000 for the 1835 2.5 edition in six joined and colored sheets. The map continued to be updated in six later editions to 1854.
