Very good. Dissected and mounted on linen in twenty-four (24) panels. Size 19.75 x 26 Inches. This is an 1867 George Hartnell Bartlett pictorial map of London, England, with charming profile illustrations of landmarks. The building profiles were drawn by Bartlett himself and, while not unprecedented, were pioneering in a cartographic context. Bartlett went on to make related maps of New York, Boston, Paris, and Massachusetts, but this is his first and thus most significant work. A Closer Look Coverage extends from the Great Western Railway Terminus and Hotel and Kensington Palace to the Tower of London and the Mint and from the Agricultural Hall to Vauxhall Railway Station and Battersea Park. Pictorial illustrations highlight London landmarks: Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Nelson's Column, the National Gallery, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the British Museum, among others. London's railway stations are given the same treatment, as are numerous theatres, inns, hotels, and churches. The Thames meanders through the city's heart with sailboats and other craft plying its waters. Publication History and Census This map was created by G. H. Bartlett and published by Smith in 1867. Bartlett issued similar maps of New York City (1870), Boston (1871), Paris (1877), and Massachusetts (1893) - making this one of a defined series, all of which are both significant and rare. We note a single cataloged example of the present map located at the Aargauer Kantonsbibliothek in Aarau, Switzerland. References: OCLC 1245126693.
