LICHFIELD                                     
by Robert Kearsley Dawson

Published 1832

An original 19th century antique street plan of the city of, Lichfield, Staffordshire, England.

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

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

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

Fine condition other than some light staining to the lower map as evident from the image, free of repairs or restoration. Faint foldline as issued and blank verso.

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