The Continuation of the Road from LONDON to BARWICK Beginning at Tuxford & extending to York...

From John Ogilby's Britannia. 

The third part of the route from London to Berwick showing Tuxford, East Markham, West Markham, West Drayton, Elkesley, Gamston, Ordsall, Babworth, Bilby, Barnby Moor, Sutton cum Lound, Torworth, Ranskill, Serlby, Scrooby, Bawtry, Rossington, Doncaster, Cusworth, Scawsby, Bentley, Pickburn, Hampole, Upton, Wentbridge, East Hardwick, Darrington, Pontefract, Ferrybridge, Knottingley, Brotherton, Poole, South Milford, Sherburn in Elmet, Barkston Ash, Church Fenton, Saxton, Towton, Grimston, Tadcaster, Oxton, Street Houses, Bilbrough, Askham Richard, Copmanthorpe, Knapton, Dringhouse, York.

Good early example from the first un-numbered edition of 1675, subsequently numbered 7 in the lower right corner, when it was realised that the plates needed to be numbered to assist the binder.

Slight browning at centrefold and some creasing to paper in the title caused when the paper was dampened and placed in the press for printing. Otherwise clean, undamaged, no tears or repairs in fine later hand colour. Large paper, fleur de lis watermark, generous margins. Includes original page of typeset text description of the route.
