Artistic genius, political activist, painter & decorator, mythic legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is unmistakable, except maybe when it`s squatting in the Tate or New York`s Metropolitan Museum. Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges & zoos of towns & cites throughout the world. Witty & subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass destruction, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills & umbrellas. If you look hard enough, you`ll find your own. His statements, incitements, ironies & epigrams are by turns intelligent & cheeky comments on everything from the monarchy & capitalism to the war in Iraq & farm animals. His identity remains unknown, but his work is prolific. Here`s the best of his work in a fully illustrated colour volume
- including brand material.

A cloth-backed reproduction by Old Folding Maps of Stanford’s Map of the County of London, According to the Local Government Act 1888, to give it its full title, (large size
- 128.5 x 85.5cm / 50.5” x 33.5” approx) presenting the administrative division of the capital & indicating the boundaries of both the Electoral Divisions returning two members to the County Council & of the Urban Sanitary Districts with control of main roads under the Highways & Locomotives (Amendment) Act of 1878. The map is fixe to hand finished wood hanging bars & bronze plated hanging ring. It measures 115x 78cm/45”x 31” & reaches 118x 83cm/46.5”x 33” with the hanging poles. The colouring & the boundaries are overlaid on a street plan with names of main & selected smaller streets, graphics indicating parks & other common l&, railway lines, etc. Hachures show the topography with the hills of north & south London clearly marked. This is London which, administratively, extends north of the Thames between Hammersmith, Hampstead, Stamford Hill & Poplar, & south of the river between Putney, Streatham, Lower Sydenham & Eltham (although the map itself extends a bit further out, particularly in the north-east). An interesting feature is the inclusion within the County of London of a small area outside its overall boundary – the site of the present day Leg of Mutton Nature Reserve in Barnes.PLEASE NOTE: this title is also available in paper version.
