London in 1897-1898 in the Cassini Historical Series reproducing old Ordnance Survey mapping of England & Wales at 1:50, 000. The four London maps cover roughly the area of the present day Greater London rather than following the format of rest of the series which is designed to correspond to the current Landranger maps. Mapping is identical to the sheets covering West & East London (Nos. 176 & 177) but simply adjusted to present most of the city rather than divide it in two. In the rest of the series old historical maps have been combined so that the sheet lines correspond to the current Landranger series & reproduced with the scale changed from one inch to one mile to 1:50, 000. Most locations are covered by three separate maps, showing how the area has changed over the decades, with selected major cities also presented in a fourth edition. * Old Series: the first detailed survey mapping dating for most areas from the first half of the 19th century, in black & white & with relief shown by hachuring.* Revised New Series from 1880s/1900s, with some colouring & a mixture of hachuring & contour lines.* Popular Edition from the inter-war years, with contour lines & colouring to indicate woodlands, parks, etc.* New Popular Edition from the late 1940s, reproduced in the Cassini series for the major cities. Each map

Includes::
notes on the development of Ordnance Survey & the various series produced by them. For those interested in maps & cartography in general, the Cassini series also provides a fascinating insight into how Ordnance Survey cartographic style has developed over a period of over 100 years.* PLEASE NOTE: Stanfords can also print on request mapping from all four series *centring the map on a location of your choice.* For more information please click on the link below.

Please note: this map is also available on paper or on foamboard.LAMINATED & ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:- LAMINATED wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.

London 1945

London at the outset of war in 1939 was the greatest city in the world, the heart of the British Empire. The defiant capital had always been Hitler`s prime target and 1945, the last year of the war, saw the final phase of the battle of London. The Civil Defence could not have succeeded without the spirit, courage, resilience and co-operation of the people. London 1945 describes how a great city coped in crisis, how morale was sustained, shelter provided, food and clothing rationed, and work and entertainment carried on. Then, as the joy of VE Day and VJ Day passed into memory, Londoners faced severe shortages and all the problems of post-war adjustment. Women lost the independence the war had lent them, husbands and wives had to learn to live together again, and children had a
lot of catching up to do. The year of victory, 1945, represents an important chapter in London`s -- and Britain`s -- long history.

The Civil Defence could not have succeeded without the spirit, courage, resilience & co-operation of the people. London 1945 describes how a great city coped in crisis, how morale was sustained, shelter provided, food & clothing rationed, & work & entertainment carried on. Then, as the joy of VE Day & VJ Day passed into memory, Londoners faced severe shortages & all the problems of post-war adjustment.
