A very fresh and attractive example of this successful publication published from 1827 for over 30 years in over 20 recorded editions. This example with dates on the slipcase and map reflecting the year of actual production, is dissected, mounted on canvas and folding in a pocket-size slipcase. Pasted on the map's reverse is an advertisement for other map publications from Cruchley. Extending from St. John's Wood, where the "Cricket Ground" is shown, to Chelsea and Vauxhall and Rotherhithe to St. Pancras and Hoxton, the map is bordered by an extensive listing of major streets and locations keyed to the map by lettered squares. The "New Plan" shows "All The New And Intended Improvements To The Present Time" and shows the earliest years of railway development, with just the Birmingham and Greenwich Railways identified on the map. The map, in bright original colour, folds into a slightly worn but fresh and intact slipcase.
