Tower Bridge, which began construction in 1886 and was completed in 1894 is shown on the map but appears unfinished. Included with the map is a booklet listing museums, parks, theaters, post offices, and other important buildings in the city, as well as vignettes of Crystal Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and the House of Parliament. Dissected and backed with original linen and folds into stiff green boards with paper title label on the front cover.
