by Robert Kearsley Dawson
Published 1832
An original 19th century antique street plan of Leeds, Yorkshire, 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 lower map is on a scale of 4 inches to the mile affording great detail including individual buildings. The area map above is on a scale of 1" to the mile.
It's interesting to compare the 19th century map with the much expanded Leeds of the present day.
Enhanced with original hand colouring and a colour key to the various boundaries and wards.
Fine condition other than a very minor edge tear repaired verso. Fold line as issued, blank verso.
Approx. 13" x 9" (320mm x 230mm) overall (as depicted).
