Title: London Parish Maps to 1900 : A Catalogue of Maps of London Parishes within the Original London County Council
Description: London Topographical Society, 2020. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780902087705 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, very slight wear to jacket edges. A well looked after copy. This catalogue records how the parishes of inner London were mapped up to 1900 when they were replaced by the precursors of the modern London boroughs. It identifies over 470 parish maps, predominantly dating from 1750 to 1900, of which over 340 are illustrated. The maps chart how London parishes evolved from ecclesiastical divisions that did little more than maintain the church and relieve the poor, to prototype civic councils which towards the end of the nineteenth century promoted sanitation, ran libraries and even generated electricity. Introductory essays by Peter Barber and Laurence Worms place the maps in a wider cartographical context, describing how and why they were made, who made them, and the information they contain. 470 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: History; ISBN/EAN: 9780902087705. Inventory No: dscf11739.
