Item description from seller

Full title: Langleys New Travelling and Commercial Map of England and Wales containing a list of all the Cities, Boroughs and Market Towns the days on which the markets are held together with the rates of postages and measured miles from London. Printed and published by Langley and Belch 173 High Street Borough London January 1st 1821. This appears to be the second issue of this map, the first being in 1817. There are no obvious differences in the printing: postage rates seem the same but it is possible that there may be the odd map detail that has changed. Printing a little less sharp that the 1817 version currently in stock. Folding map sectionalised and laid on linen, with original slipcase showing the seller's label to front. Slipcase now very worn and with loss. Contemporary hand colouring by county, with mail coach and turnpike roads marked. Cartouche of a rural glade to upper right. Uncoloured engraved panorama view of London from across the river, to the upper edge. Three uncoloured engraved panels showing Vauxhall, Waterloo and Southwark Bridges, to lower edge. Side panels with colour coded titles of towns/cities detailing distances from London, market days and rates of postage. Reverse of map with contemporary writing on several panels. Wear to folds but currently no holes. One small ink mark to map face and light spotting elsewhere. Dust-marking consistent with age. Map measurements, flat: 67.5cm by 48cm approx. Overall, a decent copy. Jisc lists the 1817 and 1824 edition but not the 1817. More details available on request (n637iri).…
