Cloth, large 4to, 84 pp, 110 ills. From the blurb - "For the purpose of government the City of London is divided into wards and has been so since the twelfth century. In written surveys of London, from John Stow's in the sixteenth century onwards, the contemporary City was described ward by ward. In due course such books were illustrated, and ward maps were the natural and necessary consequence. Ward Maps of the City of London tells the story of how these maps came to be made, their changing styles, the people who made them, and the development of the maps from attractive book illustrations to important tools of government. With their inset views and aldermanic dedications, printed ward maps have long been popular with collectors. The maps produced independent of the various printed series frequently carry topographical and boundary detail not available anywhere else. They deserve to be better known for they represent a source that historians can exploit to great advantage. The catalogue section of Ward Maps of the City of London lists and describes the 110 distinct maps, printed and manuscript. The result is a book that will be of great interest and value to London historians, liverymen, map collectors, freemen, and ward club members." Near Fine in Near Fine dustwrapper.
