A mid-Victorian wall map of London

A very large, detailed map of London, produced by Edward Weller for the 'Daily Dispatch' between 1861-1862 and brought out in parts by the Dispatch, and later compiled amongst other maps into the 'Dispatch Atlas' published in 1863.

The map show, amongst other things, post district boundaries and post offices. It also marks the site of the International Exhibition of 1861, which is now occupied by the South Kensington museums. It also shows Waterloo Station (1848). the new Victoria Station (1860) and Brunel's original Hungerford Suspension Bridge, which was just about to be replaced with the railway bridge for Charing Cross Station.
