Antique map original street plan of the town of King's Lynn, Norfolk England.

KING'S LYNN

 by Robert Kearsley Dawson

Published 1832

 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 top map is on a scale of 1 inch to the mile , the lower 4 inches to a mile affording great detail including individual buildings.

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

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

Fine condition other than some light marginal toning, free of repairs or restoration. Faint fold line as issued, blank verso.

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