Subject: [Ess] MAPCO Update : c1872 Map Of The Country Around London
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 23:40:23 +1030


Hello All.

I have just displayed a very high quality map of the country around
London c1872.

It is:

A New Topographical Map Of The Country In The Vicinity Of London,
Describing All The New Improvements, Metropolitan Boroughs And Parish
Boundaries.
http://archivemaps.com/mapco/wyld1872/wyld1872.htm

Use the thumbnail map at the top of each page to navigate your way
around the map. Hovering your mouse pointer over the thumbnails will
highlight the individual sections, and display a pop-up message
showing the northern and southern extent of the map sections.

Click the desired area to jump to a page displaying a full size image
of that map section. You will need to scroll down the page a little
to see the image of the map. A coloured thumbnail image on the
thumbnail map at the top of the page will show you which section of
the entire map you are currently viewing.

This map includes a 2 stage enlargement of the individual map
sections, with the second enlargement being of extremely high
quality! Once you are viewing the desired map section, you can click
on the map image to view an enlarged image of that section. Clicking
on the map image allows you to switch back and forth between the
normal sized image and the enlarged view of the section.

This map is just a little bonus while the main MAPCO work continues
behind the scenes. Expect lots more throughout the year!

I hope that you enjoy this beautiful map.

Kind regards,

David Hale,
Adelaide,
South Australia.
