Large lithograph printed folded map in 24 sections engraved by Frederick Bryer (1840?-1919) for Kelly & Co. Post Office Directory Office 1874. The map continued to be published in Kelly's Directory until at least 1937.

Original hand colour wash showing the county Parliamentary Divisions, parks and water features. Deatailed plan of London. The King George V reservoir at Chingford is not shown which was commenced by the Metropolitan Water Board in 1908 and completed in 1912. The reservoir is shown on later editions giving us a probable date of 1910 for the publication of this map, in Kelly's Directory of Essex, Hertfordshire and Middlesex.

Small area of loss at right margin repaired with border line in manuscript and fold intersections repaired and re-inforced with archival tape verso.
