LLANIDLOES by Robert Kearsley Dawson Published 1832 An original 19th century antique street plan of Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire, Wales. Drawn up by Lieutenant R.K. Dawson of the Royal Engineers & published by the Boundaries Commission in 1832. The whole country was surveyed for the commission to support the 1832 reform bill - a major shake-up of the nation’s parliamentary representation. The map is on a scale of 4 inches to a mile. There is much detail here including individual buildings & it’s interesting to compare the 19th century map with the much expanded Llanidloes of the present day. Enhanced with original hand colouring & a colour key to the various boundaries. Fine, clean condition other than minor age related blemishes, free of repairs or restoration. No folds, blank verso. This large paper format is superior to the numerous folding editions which are so prone to offsetting & wear. Approx. 13.5 x 8.5 (340mm x 210mm) printed area only within the plate mark. (as depicted), with good margins beyond.
