Description: | This folding map of London is the eighth edition of a map first published by Faden in 1787. It features title at top left, table of parishes next to the title, and scale bar at bottom right. At bottom centre is a list of Surrey parishes within the Bill of Mortality - the name given to the areas from which the London government received regular death notices. The border of the map is divided in miles and furlongs.
At the beginning of the 19th Century, the administration of London was split among a multitude of authorities, vestries, special commissions and private enterprises. The nine districts in London are distinguished on the map by areas of different colour, with key to colours and explanation of the relevant civil and military authorities in handwritten notes down both sides of the map. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | faden, William | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Faden, William | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
