Antique Map

  NEWPORT ON USK

                                 by Robert Kearsley Dawson

Published 1832

An original 19th century antique street plan of the town, Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales.

 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 including individual buildings.

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

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

Fine condition other than some light marginal age toning, free of repairs or restoration. Without folds and blank verso.

Approx. 12.5" x 8" (310mm x 200mm) overall (as depicted).
