What makes this map so interesting are the railroad lines and stations already engraved, although the London - Birmingham Railway opened only in 1838 and the Eastern Counties Railway fork reached Hertford only in 1843. So, at the time of printing, the trains were not yet running, but the lines from London to Birmingham and to Cambridge and Norwich (with the fork to Hertford) were entered into this map.
