Northen Home Counties. Between 1774 and 1777 John Andrews and Andrew Dury published the 20 sheets of their map titled A Map of the Country Sixty Five Miles Round London. The map was drawn from original surveys by Andrews at a scale of 7/8" to the mile. Individual sheets were also combined in subsets to make up maps of smaller areas - for example 4 sheets were used for a smaller map of the country 25 miles round London, and similarly for Windsor or Richmond. This is a single sheet (no 7) from a later edition published by Stockdale in 1807 (see Howgego - "The Printed Maps of London" - no.160). It is titled Andrews Accurate Map of the Country Twenty-Five Miles Round London, and covers the area to the north-west of the capital in great detail, from Beaconsfield in the west to Waltham Abbey in the east, and from Welwyn in the north to Perivale and Hackney in the south. Two repaired tears to the margins along the platemarks, not affecting the image.
