The map contained in a contemporary slipcase from another map (extremities rubbed). A FINE, CLEAN COPY of the first reprint of Greenough's great map of 1819 [i.e. 1820], although curiously enough his name does not appear. There are at least three other issues of this map: there is an extremely rare earlier issue with the same imprint as the present lot, but dated 1st June (see these rooms, 29 September 2011 lot 12); and two others with the same date as the present lot but carrying the names of either C. Smith 172 Strand, or G.F. Cruchley, 81 Fleet St., on printed slips pasted over the Gardner imprint. Ward & Carozzi 882 (issue points not stated).
