STAMFORD

by Robert Kearsley Dawson

Published 1832
An original 19th century antique town & street plan of Stamford, Lincolnshire,  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 to the mile so there is much detail here including individual buildings.

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

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

Fine condition other than some scattered faint off setting , free of repairs or restoration. Fold line as issued, blank verso.

Approx. 12.5" x 9" (300mm x 230mm) overall (as depicted). 

A GENUINE ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAP GUARANTEED OVER 180 YEARS OLD FROM LINDISFARNE PRINTS
