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.
