<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4307186, member: 7360"]That's it, thank you so much! There don't seem to be any images online, but folded into four the map fits the description of the volume as quarto. The explanation fits perfectly, and explains why there seems to be a little loss of paper along the internal edges of the pieces even though they were pasted closely together. They must have become ragged in use. Did you notice that the estimate was a nice £300 - £500 for the volume containing the map plus other maps and a directory, but the whole lot only made £84! That was back in 2007, but I think I am forewarned that my map will have to start at a very low price indeed if it is to sell at all. I just hope that someone will take on the challenge of repairing it and enjoying a snapshot of the time just before the railroads and industrial revolution changed the map of England.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
