This is a very uncommon and detailed plan of the city naming streets, important buildings, tramways, dock, etc. The map illustrates the Metropolitan Tramways, which are colored in red and blue. It was copied from a plan drawn in 1886 and shows the rapidly growing city by blocks outlined in dotted lines. Published by Waterlow Brothers and Layton in London. We can find no record of this map being on the market previously.
