Old Map of South London in 1862 by Edward Stanford - Greenwich, Deptford, New Cross, Blackheath - SE8, SE14, SE10, SE4, SE13 western hemisphere from which this world mapOriginally hailed as "the most perfect map of London that has ever been issued" by the Royal Geographical Society when it was published in 1862, it's safe to say that Edward's Stanford's library map of London was a masterpiece of cartography. This map looks great at sizes: 18x24 inches (45. 5x61cm), and 24x30 inches (61x76cm), but it looks even better when printed large. I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 56x70 inches (140x180cm).
