Description: Edward Mogg's extraordinary 1820 case map of the region 24 miles around London, England. Covers from Ryegate in the south to Hertfort in the north, and from Windsor in the west to Gravesend in the east. Mogg first issued this revolutionary circular format map in 1805 and published 11 subsequent editions, the last being 1860. This example represents the sixth state, 1820, in which Waterloo Road first appears. This road was named in honor of the 1815 British victory at the Battle of Waterloo, which effectively ended the Napoleonic Wars. Mogg offers fine engraving and extraordinary detail throughout, naming towns, cities, forests, parks, scrublands, and various important buildings. Published and engraved by Edward Mogg from his offices at No. 51 Charing Cross, London.
