Handsome road map in the pictorial style pioneered by Ogilby with the road laid out in several ribbon-like panels. The map begins in York (mile 192 from London) and proceeds in a northerly direction, through several small towns to Chester at mile 268. Along the route are Burrowbriggs, Topcliff, Darlington, Durham and more. Each of the six panels has a decorative compass rose to orient the traveler. The title is bounded by fancy, flourishing elements and figures. This is "Plate the 2d".
