'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.
