London Banks & Co., Effingham Wilson May 1st, 1851 First Edition Pictorial Boards Very Good
Engraved broadside map with details as described above. Image: 62cm x 106cm. Overall: 69.5cm x 110.5cm. Folded into patterned paper over boards, pictorial cover pastedown, as issued. Cover detached and present. This aerial panorama of London shows Joseph Paxton's enormous plate-glass and cast-iron building erected in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition. The derogatory name "Crystal Palace" stuck, and it is so labeled on this map. Overall, the map is a view of London, looking south over the Thames River and extending as far as St. John's Wood, Battersea Park, DeBeauvoir Town, and Greenwich, with buildings, streets and landmarks identified. This is the original edition of this remarkable map. It was reissued after the Great Exhibition closed and the Crystal Palace was relocated in 1854 to a site near Sydenham Hill. (Bill Bryson gives an entertaining account of the entire affair in the first chapter of his book, AT HOME.)
