Dear All:
http://www.accidentsurveys.com/images/History/1720_Perambulator.png
I have found an image on the web of a detail from a lower edge of an
engraved map, showing a carriage (presumably equipped with a
waywiser/odometer) and a perambulator; the surrounding text is in
English. The detail looks very familiar, but I cannot place it.
Can anyone identify it, please?
Many thanks,
Matthew
