Extends from Edmonton in the north to Croydon in the South, Plumstead Marshes in the east and Barnes in the west.

Blue marbled paper to folded end sections. Label of 'G. Cruchley, Map Seller & Publisher, 38, Ludgate Street, St. Pauls, London' to lower margin and advertisement for 'Works Published and Sold by G.

James Wyld (1812-1887) was "the most important mapmaker producing maps of London in the year of the Great Exhibition". Wyld was a highly successful publisher, MP for Bodmin, and an active figure in public life. He promoted the development of the British Library and campaigned for the Public Libraries and Museums Bill. Like his father, he was made Geographer to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1836. He built his business on his ability to produce maps quickly in reaction to new discoveries and information: Punch remarked drily that if a country were discovered in the centre of the earth then Wyld would have a new map out "as soon as it is discovered, if not before".
