Re: [Wikimediauk-l] 'Romantic London' - reusing Horwood's 1790's map

[Fæ]

Andy, you can find the map on Commons at [1].

It's been a few years since I had a personal, and positive, chat with
the British Library copyright/legal management. I would be happy to
drop in again for a meeting to chat about how better to handle this
project, or others, if they spot me lunch.

If there are any other /obviously/ PD images of immediate interest to
Wikimedians, consider dropping me a private email.
