If you go to http://mapco.net/london.htm put Bacon in your Find facility you will find a number of Maps with his name that might match the one you bought. Regards, Kate (Sydney, Australia) "Tony Proctor" wrote in message news:knth3t$dq0$1@speranza.aioe.org... I picked up a copy of an old "Bacon's New Large Print Map of London and Suburbs" from a second-hand book shop the other day. The map is in poor condition but I intend to try and rescue as much as I can of it. There is no visible date printed anywhere so I need a little help or advice on dating it. There is a "1900" pencilled on one of the remaining index pages but I'm sceptical of that - it must be a guess at best. Tony Proctor
