Published 1832
An original 19th century antique town & street plan of Guildford, Surrey, England
Drawn up by Lieutenant R.K. Dawson of the Royal Engineers and published by the Boundaries Commission in 1832.
The whole country was surveyed for the commission to support the 1832 reform bill - a major shake-up of the nation's parliamentary representation.
The map is on a scale of 4 inches to the mile and there is much detail here including individual buildings.
It's interesting to compare the 19th century map with the much expanded Guildford of the present day.
Enhanced with original, outline hand colouring and a colour key to the various boundaries.
Fine condition save for a faint crease upper right hand corner, free of repairs or restoration. No folds, blank verso.
Measuring approx. 12.5" x 8" (320mm x 200mm) overall as depicted .
