Comments on map:

Tracings only, not very informative, mounted on paper and bound into a volume. Tracings are of irregular shape, determined by roads, etc, and carry what are evidently sheet line junctions: fragmented, and not very easy for a stranger to piece together. Some work is pencil or pencil annotation (e.g. gardens and shrubberies), and suggest that this may be a set of examination traces. The pencil work suggests that drives, etc, were sketched. Fragment of General Board of Health stamp on tracing 25. 22 of the bits are from the 'General Plan'. Gotto signs and dates the whole at the beginning.
