Cassell’s Map of London, South Sheet

Cassell's 'immense map' of London, of which this is the south sheet, was prepared for the Weekly Dispatch and published in nine parts between January 1861 and April 1862.

The map reappeared in varying forms thereafter: the plates were later used for Bacon's Library Map of London and Suburbs and as a base-map for other GW Bacon publications well into the 1870s. The maps are notable for their scale, clarity and detail.
