Grand Map of London for Diplomats and Merchants
Central London on what the publishers call ‘Grand Map of London for Diplomats and Merchants Compiled from the Surveys and Observations of the Wellingtons Travel Co.” From Kensington Palace Gardens to the Tower of London and from St. Pancras station to the Imperial War Museum, many of London’s famous places are presented by lovely small drawings; not just the grand historical sights like the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey or St Paul’s, but the British Museum, V&A, Tate Modern or the National Gallery, Harrods, the northern side of Oxford Street, Covent Garden or Borough Market, the Wheel, the Gherkin or the Shard, and numerous other places big and small that London is famous for are here.Humorous ‘Observations, Remarks, and Advice by the Mapmaker” written in a style of old guidebooks add to the fun. The map comes in a handsome card slip case. Obviously not a street plan to find your way around the capital, but a lovely souvenir of an enjoyable visit or an imaginative present.
