Finely Detailed Map of London in 1746
John Rocque, a map-maker who lived in London in the 1700s, completed a masterful plan of the city measuring about 7' x 11', in 24 panels.  This required ten years' work.<br /><br />Scrolling ahead to the present, Old Maps has produced a detailed reprint of Rocque's original map for the enjoyment of travelers everywhere.  The reprint job is finely done and includes the choice of several sizes that are reductions from the original, making them manageable for the home as opposed to the exhibition hall.  Besides large landmarks I can see smaller ones such as The Church of All Hallows by the Tower.  There is everything to like about the job that Old Maps has done, and nothing to dislike. I commend them for their work.<br /><br />As for me, I'm someone who enjoys visiting London.  Once this map is framed, I'll get to enjoy it vicariously.  This will add to the pleasure of visiting the city someday in future.
