Comments on map:
Only clue to origins is 'Mastaab 1 Weiner Zoll = 500 Wnr. Klftnoder 1/36,000 der naturl. Grosse.' The vignette top left of the Houses of Parliament suggests a post-1852 date, but the only railways are to Paddington, Euston, Bishopsgate, London Bridge (including Croydon line) and Nine Elms, i.e. nothing later than 1840. Includes Victoria Park. Allowed in as a curiosity.
