Item description from seller

Large folding map measuring 98.5cm by 97.5cm approx. Undated: terminus station at Putney Bridge (opened 1880) marked, but the map also lacks the railway from Guildford to London via Clandon/Effingham Junction which opened in 1885, so pre-dates this event. The map therefore dates from between 1880 and 1884 and is therefore presumed circa 1882. Area covered ranges from Guildford (S.W.); Berkhampstead (N.W.); Hatfield (N.E.); Tunbridge (S.E.); and with Godalming and Chelmsford as extrusions to the margins. Full colour of county regions. Notable parks coloured green. Railways in black. Legend to lower margin. Meridian taken from St Paul's. No scale bar as such but measures as 3/4" to 1 mile. Clear printing and generally clean with only minor marking, however the linen is wearing thin on the folds with some small tears having been repaired on the reverse, with archival mending tissue and others having been reinforced with the same material. Rear board present but lacks front board. A bright and interesting map reflecting the expansion of London out to the suburbs through the railway network. Further details available on request.
