Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:52631 |
This map, originally published in 1720 by John Senex, was drawn on stone by Edward S Weller and engraved on copper plates by Samuel Parker. It is fulsomely dedicated to Sir Peter Delmé. Measuring approximately 69 x 51cm, this copy was published in 1860 in part 8 of the “People’s Weekly Edition of Cassell’s Old & New London”. There are some small tears and one ancient sellotape mend on the back, all of which I have tried to show in the photos. Pencil date on reverse 1890 and pr...ice £4.50, but unsure about the relevance. Very rare, rather fragile, and I cannot house it with the care it needs, hence competitive price. I would prefer interested parties to come and see it, I’m in Barnet, but realise this may not be practical for everyone.
