An original, antique, copper-engraved strip road map originally published in London in 1775 by Sayer and Bennett in ‘Jefferys’s Itinerary, Or Travellers Companion ...’. The atlas had 104 plates (printed double-sided on 52 pages) detailing the direct roads and principal cross roads in England, Wales and part of Scotland. It was an invaluable ‘pocket-sized’ resource for the 18th century traveller. The maps are updated versions of earlier works by Ogilby and Senex with each plate uncoloured as published and measuring approximately 210mm x 165mm with margins beyond, printed on both sides.

There is significant detail of towns, villages and topographical features with the main settlements along the route as follows:

Plate 5 – London, Enfield, Royston, Huntingdon.

Plate 6 – Stilton, Stamford, Grantham.

Condition report: Excellent condition, printed both sides, light toning. See photographs.
