Description

The map shows London in the mid 19th century, at the moment when it became the world’s largest city. It was the era of Queen Victoria, who ruled from 1837 through 1901, and it was under her rule that London became capital of British Empire. Hand-printed in sepia to give it a vintage feel, this detailed map of London, reproduced from the Antique Map Of London By C. Smith And Son published in1860. This map will surely be a conversation starter, for it was streets of this London that were a backdrop for adventures of legendary literary characters like Sherlock Holmes or Phileas Fogg.
