Antique Map

WEYMOUTH

by Robert Kearsley Dawson

Published 1832

An original 19th century antique town & street plan of Weymouth, Dorset.

 Drawn up by Lieutenant R.K. Dawson of the Royal Engineers and published by the Boundaries Commission in 1832.

The whole country was surveyed for the commission to support the 1832 reform bill - a major shake-up of the nation's parliamentary representation.

The map is on a scale of 4 inches to the mile affording great detail. 

 It's interesting to compare the 19th century map with the much expanded Weymouth  of the present day.

Enhanced with original hand colouring and a colour key to the various boundaries and wards.

Fine condition other than minor age related blemishes,  blank verso.

Approx. 13" x 8" (330mm x 200mm) overall (as depicted).
