This magnificent folding wall map of London was published by George Washington Bacon in 1890, at the height of Victorian England's power. Designed for visitors and explorers of the capital, this large, intricately detailed map captures the grandeur of London when the British Empire was at its peak. Hand-coloured detail reveals hundreds of street names, landmarks, parks, and postal codes in crisp red lettering.
The map encompasses central London from Battersea and Brixton in the south to Hampstead and Stoke Newington in the north, Kensington and Bayswater in the west to Tower Hamlets and Bow in the east. Concentric circles radiate from Charing Cross, marking half-mile increments. The Thames winds majestically through in blue, while parks are rendered in soft handcrafted colours. Railways and stations are highlighted, underscoring London's role as a rail hub.
A stunning gift for Londoners, Victorian history enthusiasts, or anyone who cherishes the romance of the capital's past. Perfect for offices, living rooms, or spaces where historic charm adds atmosphere and character.
