Comments on map:
The outlying parts on the east suggest that parts of Fleming's plate of 1808 [Exeter 21698] were either reused, or else were copied remarkably closely: streets are superimposed on Little Govan Nursery, e.g. However, the western (Blythswood) side differs noticably, and the plate is much smaller. Price note below map indicates that it was 1s 6d 'plain' and 2s 'coloured'.
