'To His Most Excellent Majesty George the Fourth, this map of the Town of Brighton and its environs, delineated from Actual Surveys made in the Year 1824-5, is by permission Most Humbly Dedicated, by His Majesty's Obedient & Very Devoted Servant, J. Pigott-Smith'


Large scale plan of Brighton by John Pigott-Smith; this map appears to be very scarce. Printed in 1826 on four sheets on a scale of 20 inches to one mile. The four sheets when joined will measure 112 x 144cm. The decorative title occupies about one third of the top right sheet, with each line is engraved in a different lettering. The map contains two vignette views: View of Brighton from the Albion Hotel [including the Royal Pavilion], and View of Marine Parade and Chain Pier from the Albion Hotel. Both the views are credited to J.P. Neale Delint; published for J.P. Smith. by Creasey & Baker, Gazette Office, Brighton. The map detail of the built up area extends from Brunswick Square to Kemptown, which at the date of survey was being built. To the north, the built up area only extends to short distance beyond St Peter's Church. The map extends inland about one and a half miles. At the top border is shown the Cavalry Barracks, (now Preston Barracks) on the Lewes Road.

Condition Guide

We assess the condition of each item using three categories: Good, Fair, and Poor. We strive to ensure that any significant flaws are clearly shown in the images provided and detailed in the accompanying condition statement.

Good

The item presents well, with no significant flaws, and is in frameable condition. Minor imperfections—such as light spotting or offsetting, small blemishes, tight margins, neatly repaired tears, or discreet/professionally executed restoration—do not materially detract from its overall appearance.

Fair

The item shows noticeable flaws but remains in frameable condition. Some buyers may feel these imperfections affect its visual appeal. Typical issues may include more prominent spotting, blemishes, bleed-through from the reverse, obvious offsetting, visible or extensive restoration, wear along fold lines or junctures, small wormholes, trimmed or closely cropped edges, or less carefully executed repairs.

Poor

The item has major flaws that significantly impact its presentation and/or suitability for framing. These may include heavy spotting, staining, bleed-through, offsetting, unrepaired damage, or poorly executed repairs such as tears, holes, or areas of paper loss (including within the printed image). The item may also be fragile and prone to further deterioration.
