Old illustrated ribbon map from London to Barwick

Unframed double-sided plate taken from a facsimile published in 1939: a sheet of paper with a map on each side. The original maps were printed in 1675 at the author's home in whitefriars, london. In 1719 a paperback was published: "a pocket-guide to the english traveller: being a complete survey and admeasurement of all the principal roads and most considerable cross-roads in england and wales." this book contained hand-colored engravings and is rare and very expensive! The ribbon or strip map shows the route from place to place and what can be seen from a trainer or horse, rather than a status map showing the entire campaign. The paper is cream in color and the color bright. Each board in this collection has a jagged edge where it was once bound and a red border that in most cases is usable, although it can be covered with a mat. Paper size: 30 X 24 cm.
