This late 18th century map has a decorative scrolled title cartouche and three different mileage scales. It is a hand coloured, copperplate engraving.

This large and impressive map was produced by brothers Christopher and James Greenwood during the reign of William IV.  It is very detailed and has a title with 10 different fonts.  Bottom right is a vignette of Chatsworth House and the map is hand coloured.
