Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Booth's famous "poverty" maps, the most comprehensive review of poverty in London. Here we offer both the detailed map on four sheets, and the large index map, often not included. Booth and his team embarked on a landmark social and economic survey that found that 35% of Londoners lived in poverty. The accompanying maps are lithographed on a scale of 6 inches to one mile, each with a key showing the streets colour-coded according to the wealth of the inhabitants, ranging from black ("Lowest class") through shades of blue and purple ("Very poor", "Moderate Poverty", "Poverty & Comfort [mixed]"), to red ("Well to-do"); the "Wealthy" are colour-coded in yellow. He began in 1887 with a pilot survey of Tower Hamlets and continued for fifteen years. He and his small army of researchers gathered as much information as they could through a great variety of sources: interviews, questionnaires, reports from London school board visitors, and house-to-house visits. Large chromolithographic map on 4 separate folding sheets (each 462 x 595mm), each with a key showing the streets colour-coded according to the wealth of the inhabitants, contained within an original vellum case, lettered in gilt on spine and with "London 1890 1900" lettered in gilt and set withing gilt shield on upper cover (case slightly soiled). (In very good condition with only a few folds strengthened with Japanese tissue, occasional tiny losses at fold joins.) [With:] Map Shewing Degrees of Poverty in London in areas with about 30,000 inhabitants in each. London: Stanfords, 1890-1891. Large chromolithographic map (635 x 875mm), dividing the city into areas with colour-coded key illustrating the extent of poverty in each location, based on Stanford's "Library map of London", with key and table in the upper and lower right corners, respectively, originally published with the appendix to "Labour & Life of the People" vol. 2 (sheet 692 x 928mm; sometime previously folded and recently laid onto Japanese tissue, restoration to central horizontal creasefold and a few other folds, particularly in area of upper left, with a few tiny losses at fold joins with fractionally larger loss in the Camden/Kentish Town area.).…

Descripción de la tienda

Welcome to Julian Wilson Rare Books. With nearly 30 years’ experience in handling rare and antiquarian books, atlases and maps, we offer specialist knowledge of travel, natural history and science, especially geology and geological maps, as well as manuscripts, archives, prints, drawings and topographical art. Julian started his career in the world of antiquarian books when he joined Maggs Bros Ltd in 1997, apprenticed under the late John Collins in the Natural History department. In 2008, Julian took the opportunity to join Christie’s as a Specialist, later becoming Associate Director and Senior Specialist in the King Street Book Department. He has handled many important works in diverse subjects over the years, including a complete subscriber’s set of John Gould’s magnificent ornithological books, a fine coloured copy of the complete first edition of Gerard Mercator’s Atlas, 1585-1595, a pair of John Russell’s extremely scarce prints of the moon, two copies of Mendel’s offprint on genetics and the laws of inheritance, a beautiful example of the famous Chinese ‘Blue Map’, Complete Geographical Map of the Great Qing Dynasty, and Marx’s presentation copy of Das Kapital to his cousin. He has also enjoyed being involved with non-book items, such as an Apple-1 computer and an Enigma machine. Over the past decade, Julian has grown and developed successful sales of photographs, maps, posters and other ephemera relating to major 20th-century geo-political events, tying into his life-long interest with TE Lawrence. Julian also has a fascination with paleontology, geology and the earth sciences, and has helped catalogue a major private collection on the subject. In January 2025, after 17 years at Christie’s, Julian stepped away from the auction world to create his new independent dealership. …
