He issued maps and travel guides to England, Wales and London, mostly in format of folding pocket guides and maps. “The Strangers Guide to London and Westminster” was an engraved and hand-coloured plan, dissected and mounted on linen. Hackney coaches fares label still intact and partially attached to the rear linen panel.
The British Museum construction which took almost 25 years to complete is also present. Of this map, Mogg writes “…like the clue of Ariadne, it will conduct him through the labyrinth, and, occasionally consulted, will enable him, unattended, to thread with ease the mazes of this vast metropolis”. Mogg’s map of London offers superb and beautifully engraved detail throughout noting all streets, parks, and numerous important buildings.
