Very good. Minor toning and wear along original fold lines. Some foxing at places, especially in top right quadrant. Size 13.5 x 21 Inches. This is a scarce 1811 map or plan of Woolwich and vicinity, London published by T. Cadell and W. Davies. The plan is highly detailed, noting individual buildings, roads with beautifully rendered topography. It depicts the ordnance grounds around Woolwich town, including the Military Academy, Ordnance Wharf, Foot Artillery Barracks, Horse Artillery Barracks, Repository Grounds, etc. Woolwich Town is also noted. A key below the title lists the various locations marked on the map. Woolwich originally known as Woolwich Saitn Mary, was a small Kentish village in south east London before it became a military and naval town. The Royal Military Academy dates back to 1741 while the Royal Arsenal which houses the Royal Artillery Museum, dates back to 1671. Till date, the town of Woolwich remains an army base. This map was drawn by Thomas Yeakell and engraved by J. Warner. Published in 1811 by T. Cadell and W. Davies. References: OCLC: 557959609.

Teggs New Plan of London, &c. with 360 References to the Principal Streets, &c. 1827.By: Thomas TeggDate: 1823 / 1827 (dated) London Dimensions: 17 x 24.5 inches (43 x 62 cm)This is a fine example of an early 19th century travelers' folding map of London with references to 260 principal streets. The map was first issued by Thomas Tegg out of London in 1823 and issued several times thereafter until the early 1830s. As specified in the title, this example was issued in 1827.The map centers on old London nestled along the River Thames with the original boundary outlined in red. Portions of neighboring burrows such as Westminster, Camden, Southwark, and Tower Hamlets are also included within the map as the outskirts of the growing city of London. The map was issued as a sectional, folding map with 18 distinct panels that are subdivided into 20 sections, numbered accordingly throughout the map. Below the map is the complete list of 360 principal streets and the corresponding section to which they can be found.While a map such as this is filled with wonderful historic landmarks, we would like to draw your attention to "the Queen's Palace," which can be found in panel #12 surrounded by the Queen's Garden, Green Park, and St. James Park. The palace was originally intended as a private retreat for Queen Charlotte, (the wife of King George III) would become the home of Queen Victoria and forever known as Buckingham Palace, just seven years after the publication of this map. Other noteworthy historic landmarks that can be found within this map include Westminster Abbey, the London Bridge, Towers of London, and numerous churches, gardens, and squares where important events have taken place over the centuries. Condition: The map is in B+ condition, originally issued folding with linen. Some of the folding areas have been reinforced on the verso where the linen was separated or weakened. Annotations on the verso indicate the map was given as a gift in 1829. Inventory # 121361200 W. 35th Street #425 Chicago, IL 60609 | P: (312) 496 - 3622.

Very good. Light soiling and foxing. Repaired tear in top-left corner. Size 13 x 22 Inches. A highly-detailed c. 1816 city plan of London, originally prepared by John Russell and published by James Robins and Company. This map captures London at a time of expansion and construction, with numerous new thoroughfares, bridges, and even docks illustrated. A Closer Look As indicated in the title, the map covers from the Paddington Canal (near Hyde Park) to the West India Docks near a crook in the Thames at the Isle of Dogs. The map is divided into evenly-sized blocks labeled with Roman numerals, allowing for easy location of more than 150 sites listed in an index below. These include an extensive list of churches, government offices, theaters, inns, schools, jails (goals), prisons, and squares. Additional sites, including royal palaces, cemeteries (including more than one 'Jews burying ground'), bridges, parks, gardens, hospitals, workhouses, and more, are noted on the map itself. Major landmarks such as St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, and the Houses of Parliament are prominently displayed. Historical Context This map captures late Georgian London in a time of transition, as the infrastructure (bridges, canals, docks, roads) was being built, which would allow London to absorb a massive influx of immigrants in the following decades. For example, the 'ghosting in' of Swallow Street between Oxford St. and Piccadilly refers to the demolition of Swallow Street in 1815 to create the thoroughfare of Regent Street. The Commercial Road at right was built at the start of the 19th century to establish a better connection between the East and West India Docks and the city center. Likewise, the London Docks just to the east of the Tower of London had only been completed in 1815, as had the Waterloo Bridge. Publication History and Census This map was prepared and published by James Robins. The inclusion of 'Albion Press' after Robins' name is more likely a reference to the type of iron printing press invented in the early 19th century rather than an associated publishing firm. The map is undated but is believed to be c. 1816 from the naming of the 'Waterloo or Strand Bridge' (originally known as the Strand Bridge but renamed in 1816 to commemorate the British victory at the Battle of Waterloo) and other details. The naming of Southwark Bridge as such might indicate a slightly later date, c. 1820. This map is only listed among the holdings of the British Library in the OCLC. The London Archives also holds an example. The map only occasionally comes to market. It is a later edition of a c. 1806 map which contains the subtitle 'with the proposed Improvements between the Royal Exchange and Finsbury Square,' attributed to John Russell and published by James Stratford rather than Robins. The 1806 edition appeared in David Hughson's book, London, being an accurate history and description of the British Metropolis and its neighborhoods but may have also been separately issued.

Very good. Mounted on linen. Light wear along original fold lines. Dampstaining only evident on verso. Size 20.75 x 29.75 Inches. This is an 1887 James Reynolds city map of London. Centered on the Thames, coverage embraces London from Notting Hill and West Kensington to the West India Docks and the Isle of Dogs, and from Highbury and Kentish Town to Peckham and Battersea. A grid of quarter-mile squares is superimposed over the map, illustrating distances. Omnibus and tram-car routes are shaded yellow, while railroad stations are colored pink. Streets, parks, government buildings, rail stations, palaces, and churches are all labeled. Several specific sites are identified as well, including the British Museum, the Museum of Natural History, and the Royal Horticultural Gardens. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by James Reynolds and Sons in 1887. We note three cataloged examples of the 1887 edition in OCLC which are part of the collections at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, Northern Michigan University, and the University of London Research Library Services Institute of Historical Research. Reynolds first issued this map in 1857 and it was updated annually to 1901, by which time Charles Smith and Sons had taken over the Reynolds firm. References: OCLC 20908292.

Very good. Some surface toning along fold lines. Dissected and laid on linen. Original linen backing stable. Size 25 x 29.5 Inches. This is Johann Georg Heck's 1851 large-format German-language folding map of London. Providing a detailed overview of central London, it was published for German tourists visiting the Great Exhibition of 1851. A Closer Look The map covers central London, with the City of London and inner boroughs (Finsbury, Southwark, Westminster, etc.) outlined in hand color for easy distinction. Neighborhoods, counties, towns, and other constituent parts of the boroughs are also labeled, as are a wide range of public buildings, including train stations, parks, museums, hospitals, prisons, markets, palaces, and more. The map employs a curious prime meridian and an equator-like parallel, both based on St. Paul's Cathedral. At top are vignette illustrations of the Crystal Palace of the Great Exhibition and the Houses of Parliament (minus the clock tower 'Big Ben,' which was under construction at the time but not completed until 1859), plus a decorative cartouche with British royal symbols. Beneath the map is an extensive alphabetical index of towns, neighborhoods, public buildings, streets, squares, and parks (the map's original owner has underlined and made faint notes near several attractions including the Crystal Palace, British Museum, and Westminster Abbey). Notably, the map points out the position of the 'Crystal Palace' (Industrie Ausstellungs Gebäude) on the south edge of Hyde Park; in 1854, the palace was moved to a location south of London (beyond the scope of this map), where it stood until burning down in 1936. Other interesting ephemeral features appear, such as a suspension bridge at Hungerford Market (the Hungerford Bridge), which was replaced with a railway bridge in 1864, and a ghosted-in proposed bridge between Millbank and Lambeth, ultimately opened in 1862. The 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition, or Great Exhibition The 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition, officially titled the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, was a landmark event held in London's Hyde Park. It was organized by Prince Albert (1819 - 1861) and Sir Henry Cole (1808 - 1882), who envisaged an international platform to showcase the innovations, arts, and technological prowess of the era. The venue, the Crystal Palace, was an architectural marvel in itself - an expansive iron and glass edifice designed by Sir Joseph Paxton (1803 - 1865) that was three times larger than St. Paul's Cathedral - symbolizing the union of art, design, and engineering. Exhibitors flocked to this event, displaying a diverse array of products ranging from machinery to exotic artifacts, revealing the vast expanse of 19th-century human achievement. Drawing over 6,000,000 visitors, including dignitaries, intellectuals, and curious citizens, the exhibition was not merely a commercial or technological display; it was a cultural spectacle that emphasized Britain's central role in the Industrial Revolution. Moreover, the legacy of the Great Exhibition extended beyond its temporal confines, influencing design principles, shaping international trade and diplomacy, and inspiring subsequent world fairs and expositions. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by Johann Georg Heck, engraved by R. Schmidt, and published by Johann Jacob Weber in Leipzig in 1851. It is quite rare, only being noted in the OCLC among the holdings of the Newberry Library, British Library, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, and Sächsische Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek.

Good. Remargined at right and left sides. Backed with archival tissue. Old ink stain from top. Size 22 x 37.5 Inches. This is an extremely uncommon 1800 George Dance plan or map of the Legal Quays, City of London. Created by Dance to illustrate his proposed plan for the improvement of the Legal Quays, the map depicts roughly from London Bridge and Fish Hill Street to the Tower of London and from the Thames River to Great Tower Street and Little Tower Street. The surrounding London Street layout is included, showing all streets and identifying major buildings. A darker, overprinted section indicates where the improvements are intended. The Proposed Improvement of London's Docks Around 1796 the House of Commons recognized that the current docks available in London were insufficient to meet the needs of increased trade. A call was put out to architects and city planners, many of whom submitted prospectives - the present example by George Dance being one such. Dance at this time was near the end of a long and prosperous architecture career that included the façade of London's Guildhall. This revamping of London's Docks, had it been adopted and constructed, would have been the crowning glory of his career. Instead, this construction was never completed and only this grand vision remains. Publication History This map was engraved by Gale and Butler of Crooked Lane, London, for the Appendix to the Third Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons upon the Improvement of the Port of London .

Very good. Dissected and mounted on linen in twenty (20) panels. Light soiling. Size 18.5 x 24.75 Inches. This is an 1827 George F. Cruchley pocket city plan or map of London, England. Depicting from Hyde Park to the London Dock and from Camden Town to Kennington and Walworth, Cruchley uses color to highlight the boundaries of the City of London, Westminster, and Southwark. Colored boundaries also mark the Rules of the King's Bench Prison and the Rules of the Fleet Prison, along with the 'Extent of the Clink Liberty'. These three areas were boundaries within which convicts could serve out their sentences outside the prison walls, usually for a very high price. Roads are illustrated and labeled throughout the city, along with squares, gardens, and other buildings. St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and the Houses of Parliament are all labeled. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by George F. Cruchley in 1826. We note a single cataloged example, which is part of the collection at Yale University.

Very good. Dissected and mounted on linen in sixteen (16) panels. Toning. Size 16 x 23.75 Inches. This is an 1806 John Wallis city plan or map of London, England. Focusing on London along the Thames, the map depicts from Paddington to White Horse Street and from Hoxton to Redriff. Hand color emphasizes important locations throughout, including Leicester Square, the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, and St. James's Park. Buckingham Palace is labeled 'Queen's Palace' (but isn't shaded), as is the British Museum. A Useful Map Streets throughout London and reference an alphabetic index below the map's border, creating a truly useful item for everyday Londoners and visitors alike. An alphanumeric 'grid' labels areas of the city. Since this map was dissected and mounted on linen, it could be easily folded and unfolded and held in a pocket for use in day-to-day urban navigation. Publication History and Census This map was published by John Wallis in 1806. Wallis first published this map in 1798 with the title 'Wallis's Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster'. Under this title the map was issued in seven editions, with the present example representing the fourth. We note a single cataloged example of this edition, located at the London Metropolitan Archives. References: Howgego, J., Printed Maps of London circa 1553 - 1850 Second Edition.
