Notes
A fine example of Cary’s map showing London at the end of the Regency Period. The map was extended in 1811 to accommodate the development of the docks on the Isle of Dogs, and Howgego makes particular note of the map:
“The best of the London maps published by the firm was the ‘New and Accurate Plan’ to a scale of 6 1/2 inches to the mile. First published in 1787, of which at least twenty editions were issued between then and 1825. Unlike many other map-makers Cary was at considerable pains to bring each edition up to date” (Howgego p.21)
Scale: 6 1/2 inches to 1 statute mile.
