Cassini’s Great British Cities Historical Map Collection provides a remarkable overview of three of Britain’s major urban areas from the early 19th century to the 1950s. Four of the maps are at 1:50,000 scale and provide a bird’s-eye view of the city and the surrounding area at four crucial points in its history. The fifth is at a more detailed 1:10,000* and lets you zoom in and explore the 19th-century urban landscape street by street. Historical notes help set the maps in context and provide an introduction to the original mapping series used. Supplied in an attractive case, the Great British Cities Historical Map Collection makes an ideal gift for anyone with any interest in the history of Liverpool, Edinburgh or London.
