The 1807 Hyatt map William Hyett produced an amazingly accurate map of the London countryside in 1807, using just pen and paper. An interior decorator with royal patronage, Frederick Crace amassed some 1200 printed and hand-drawn maps charting the development of the city and its immediate vicinity from around 1570 to 1860. A couple of these maps date from 1807 as William Hyett put pen and ink to paper and drew a remarkable accurate view of the then countryside around north and west London.
