It has a Hogarth-style frame (370x480mm), and is unmounted, with later hand colour. It. The map, which is the second part part of the route from London to Derby, features an ornate scrolled title cartouche with fruits and the royal arms. The road route goes via Northampton, Brixworth, Market Harborough, Leicester and Loughborough and Kegworth and crosses the rivers Nene, Soar, Trent and Derwent. There is extraordinary detail of topographic features, including the number of arches in bridges across larger rivers.
