Colour printed on cloth, dissected sections.
Excellent Condition inside, edges of cover slightly worn
Scale 3.15 miles to 1 inch
These maps did not have the date included until 1923, so this map is pre 1923.
Lovely graphics of the iconic Michelin man on the covers.
The map was intended as a touring map for those who possessed one of those new fangled automobiles and shows the main roads with miles between places, impracticable roads, bad roads, picturesque roads, gates and "bad bumps" railways and points of local interest, such as Racecourses, Monasteries and Suspension Bridges.
Basically invaluable !
It covers the area from Leicester, Peterborough, Birmingham in the North to Cambridge, Northampton Worcester in the South.
