Comments on map:

F.t.p. of J.-B. Barjaud & C.P. Landon, Description de Londres et de ses edifices..., Paris: Landon, 1810. Scale of toises. Most buildings numbered rather than named: the key to these seems to be in the final section of the book, with separate pagination, 'Indication des chiffres et des lettres du plan de Londres'. All text on map other than title is in English, so numbering buildings saves both engraving and translation.
