Finely engraved folding map of the county, dissected into twenty-four sections and mounted on linen, green silk trim to the edges, marbled paper to the folded end sections, folds into original green embossed cloth slipcase with Wyld's printed label to upper board and brief title label to one spine. Some mild wear to the corners of the case, a lovely example overall. Kent was the first of the Ordnance Survey maps to be published, appearing in 1801.
