A TOPOGRAPHICAL PLAN OF MANCHESTER AND SALFORD WITH THE ADJACENTPARTS; SHEWING ALSO THE DIFFERENT ALLOTMENTS OF LAND PROPOSED TO BE BUILT ON AS COMMUNICATED TO THE SURVEYOR BY THE RESPECTIVE PROPRIETORS

A fine large detailed folding engraved plan of the City of Manchester and Salford. The surveyors name Charles Laurent is shown in the title panel with his address No. 2 Johnsons Buildings near the Obelisk St.George’s Fields. The plan has three inset maps. A strip road map of the route from Manchester to London, A plan of Manchester and Salford in 1650 and A map of the country around Manchester. 36 1/4 x 41 1/2 inches. This is a folded map so has the original fold creases. Specimens vary a lot in condition depending how many times they have been unfolded and handled. This is a fairly good specimen just having some splits and slight tears with no loss of the engraved image at one point in the middle of the map where two creases meet. Plus a series of staple size binding holes running down the centre fold where there is some loss of engraved area. Some strenthening patches to the fold have been added to the verso of map in past years. Otherwise a very nice clean specimen which would make a wonderful and interesting wall decoration when framed. The price of the plan when first sold was 1 guinea.
