Old Map of North London, 1862 by Edward Stanford - Finsbury Park, Hackney Downs, Stoke Newington, Clapton - N4, N5, N15, N16, E5 Finish:Framed canvas map the father of British cartographyOriginally 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).
