Old Map of London, England United Kingdom 1845 Vintage

Rock's illustrated map of London

This inventive city map of London includes tiny facades of landmarks and prominent buildings such as Kensington Palace, Trafalgar Square, railway stations, wharfs, and the Houses of Parliament. The map is undated, but its time frame can be deduced from several clues. Because the map shows the Hungerford Bridge, built in 1845, but not Waterloo Station, built in 1848, it must have been printed between these two dates. Victorian London is laid out here in all its industrial triumph and tragedy. New steam railways (black solid lines) snake into the city from the edges of the map, while the orphanages, hospitals, and asylums, set aside for society's outcasts, are scattered throughout the city. Circa 1845.

Our vintage map prints are produced using high-quality Giclée printing, helping to capture the fine detail, character and historic beauty of each map. The result is a beautifully detailed print designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

Considering a vintage map for your wall? Our top tip is to choose a framed map for a ready-to-hang finish.

If you order a print only, we recommend not leaving it rolled for too long. When you're ready to unroll your map, gently lay it flat while keeping the protective tissue paper in place. A few carefully placed books can help the print settle overnight.

Please don't reverse roll your map print. It may cause creases or damage to the paper, and we want your map to look its very best.

If you choose to frame your map yourself, we recommend an FSC-certified, 100% acid-free frame and mount. These quality materials help protect the print and preserve its colour, detail and character over time.

Vintage maps are pieces of history — so whether you choose one of our frames or frame your map yourself, we recommend using high-quality materials to help keep your map looking beautiful for years to come.
