Ordnance Map Of The Country Around Maidstone..
Housed in a worn but complete cloth-covered slip-case, labelled Edward Stanford, Ordnance Map of the Country around Maidstone. The label and the cloth of the upper cover of the slip-case have been damp at some point and the original red cloth is faded but complete. The slip-case has proved its utility as the map is in fine condition within. Neat Victorian address stamp on reverse of map, not affecting map.
