Comments on map:
In Handbook for travellers in Lincolnshire, London: Murray, 1890, f.p.25. No author information, but rather similar to the Walker & Boutall maps in other Murray handbooks around this time (see Norwich [Exeter 18973], e.g.): it is printed from a block. Lettering is mostly italic for descriptions, rather than sans-serif, and there is no 'building infill'.
