Description: | This pocket map of London is reminiscent of Henry Overton's map of 1731. The title and scale bar appear at top left, fares of hackney coaches feature at top and middle right, and fares of water ferries at bottom centre. A note on distances, churches and public buildings is included at bottom right with the city boundaries outlined in colour. Robert Whity, who issued this map in 1759, added a sheet to include the development north of Oxford Street in the estate of Henry Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle, where Cavendish Square was at the centre of a new residential district being built by Edward Harley, the duke’s son-in-law. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Whity, Robert | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Rivers Cartography And Topography Transport Infrastructure Science And Technology London maps Rivers and waterways Maps | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Whity, Robert | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
