Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster the Borough of Southwark, and parts adjoining shewing every house.
Published in London, 1799, by Richard Horwood.
Born in Buckinghamshire, Horwood is remembered for his large-scale plan of London and its suburbs. Published between 1792 and 1799, at the time it was the largest map ever printed in Britain.
Horwood’s ambition was to chart every building in the entire city. The information contained within the map was a huge undertaking with no other maps depicting such detail at the time. Not only is every street, square, court and alley illustrated - but every individual house. His intention was to publish the complete map within two years, at a scale of 26 inches to the mile. However, the scope of the project was so extensive and the costs so high the project took almost ten years to complete. Financed by subscription, despite acquiring royal patronage from King George III, the project suffered considerable financial hardship. 
The first sheets published were of the then fashionable west end sections (essentially it was published from west to east).
In 1800 he wrote of the map: “The execution of it has cost me nine years severe labour and indefatigable perseverance; and these years formed the most valuable part of my life. I took every angle; measured almost every line; and after that, plotted and compared the whole work. The engraving, considering the immense mass of work, is, I flatter myself, well done.”
It remained the most accurate map of London for 50 years until publication of the first ordnance survey and is now considered to be one of the most important maps of the eighteenth century. 
The section used for this globe runs from West Smithfield in the  east  to Red Lion Square in the West.
