This beautiful map is a continuation of the road from London to the northeast through Cambridge and Ely, to Kings Lynn. Of particular interest are the large plans of Cambridge, Ely and Lyn. Barkway, Hawston, Newton, Denney Abby, Chetsham, Littleport, Houghton Chapel, and many more are also located. This handsome chart presents a continuous scroll in six sections, each embellished by a compass rose with fleur-de-lys. The title cartouche has a coat of arms.

Fine impression with original margins and a large watermark. A hint of toning and surface soil and mounting tape show-through at upper corners, else very good.
