Comprehending the Various Improvements to 1835

English, dated 1835
Mounted on a modern Cobham leg base as a low table.
Greenwood's map of London was first published in 1827 from a survey carried out in the preceding two years. In 1828 a rival map was produced by Critchley but this was much inferior. A new edition appeared in 1830, published by Ruff & Co who produced this further updated edition, extended to the South, in 1835.
In 1841 the Western Review reviewed Greenwood's map and gave a resoundingly positive appraisal, thirteen years after the original edition:
'A map of London from an actual survey, comprehending the various improvements done to 1840 by E Ruff & Co. This is a map of London upon the largest scale adapted for the clubs and public institutions of the metropolis and the only one we have seen deserving a place in the office of a surveyor or civil engineer. When not mounted on canvas or rollers it sells in 6 coloured sheets when not merely the streets but the smallest courts and open spaces with every building of magnitude may be traced. Names of inconsiderable thoroughfares have been carefully engraved and can be read with the utmost distinction. For the metropolitan improvements in progress and those which may be in contemplation this is the best map to be consulted, no other gives a sufficiently clear idea of the obstacles to be removed in the formation of new streets'.
The final edition was produced by Smith & Son in 1856.
