'Baker Street, from Oxford Street to Regent’s Park and St. John’s Wood'


A perspective map view of Baker Street and the parallel Gloucester Place from Oxford Street through Marylebone to Regent’s Park, where it meets Park Road, and St John’s Wood, showing one of London’s most celebrated thoroughfares. At the lower edge are Oxford Street and Portman Square, with surrounding terraces and streets such as Orchard Street, Granville Place and Somerset Street clearly marked. Moving northwards, Baker Street passes Manchester Square with Hertford House, Blandford Street and George Street, while nearby stand Portman Chapel, Montagu House and Portman Square Gardens. Further away lies Dorset Square and Marylebone Road, with Baker Street Station prominently shown. Beyond, the road leads directly into Regent’s Park, depicted in detail with the Zoological Gardens, the Royal Botanic Gardens, the South Villa and the Inner Circle. To the northwest are St John’s Wood, Lords Cricket Ground and St John’s Wood Chapel, together with surrounding villas and crescents. The map is both decorative and practical, balancing architectural detail with a clear street pattern, and highlights Baker Street’s transition from the commercial bustle of Oxford Street to the villas, gardens and institutions of Marylebone, Regent’s Park and St John’s Wood in the late Victorian era.

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.
