This is the southeast sheet of James Wyld's 9-sheet map of London and its environs, focusing on Greenwich, Deptford, Blackheath, Lewisham, Brockley, Peckham, and East Dulwich.
This map, first published as part of a 9-sheet atlas of London in 1848-49, is rarely found in this unjoined format, making these individual regional sections extremely scarce on the market. Early railway lines are shown on the map. Formal parks and gardens are shaded in green. The map is exceedingly detailed with virtually every building individually drawn and field boundaries outlined. Most of the area south of Greenwich, Deptford, and Peckham remains entirely undeveloped farmland.
Original hand-colour. [LDN6993]
