This map of the West End of London is part of Henry Overton’s complete map of London and its suburbs, published in 1720. The title and publisher’s imprint appear in cartouche in the centre, with fares of hackney coaches and an overall key at bottom left. The compass rose appears in the river, with parish boundaries outlined in colour. Henry Overton took over his father John’s publishing business in 1707 and continued to publish maps from the same address at White Horse near Newgate.
