This was the first map of Hertfordshire to be printed by the newly invented lithographic process, the design being drawn by hand directly on the stone.

Folds as issued and with an archival repair to a short tear at the original binding fold but generally in very good condition for this map usually found in poor condition, being folded into the octavo volume. Good later hand colour.
