A highly detailed map of Victorian London, published under the Superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) in 1835. Drawn by Architect W.B. Clarke, published by Baldwin & Cradock, 47 Paternoster Row, London, 1835. Engraved, printed and hand-coloured by J. Henshall.

This scarce map of London contains an astonishing amount of detail. There are two attractive views of London in upper-right corner and innovative size comparison of principal buildings below. Because of the sheer amount of information, much of the original map text is very small - please note this when choosing the size below.

William Barnard Clarke (born 1806) was an English architect and archaeologist. A gifted sketch artist, he published a collection of maps of European cities. William Barnard Clarke was a President of the Architectural Society in London in 1834-35. Clarke was also an active member of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.

The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK), was founded in 1826 with the object of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching and was mainly intended for the middle and working classes. SDUK published inexpensive texts intended to adapt scientific and similarly high-minded material for the rapidly expanding reading public. Its printers included Baldwin & Cradock, later succeeded by Charles Knight. The Society commissioned work and dealt with the printers and distributed the publications; profits were used to continue the Society's work. However, attempts to reach the working class market were largely unsuccessful. The Society was eventually wound up in 1848, though some of its works continued to be published.

This poster is a high quality "giclée" reproduction of a restored antique original, custom-printed on Standard Single-weight Matt Coated art paper 140gsm or  Heavyweight Matt Coated art paper 230gsm (more of a thin card density), or superb Epson Matt Canvas 320gsm, according to your choice. We use the latest UltraChromeHDX pigment inks which guarantee 60 years of colour  permanence (up to 200 years fade-proof for colour prints).  This poster is suitable for mounting and framing, as well as direct display on a wall.

This high-resolution, museum-grade fine art print is produced from a unique restored image. Printed on premium archival-quality art paper or canvas, it makes a striking addition to any interior as wall décor or a poster, and a memorable gift for lovers of antique and vintage maps, collectors of historic prints, historians, and explorers. Almost indistinguishable from the original Victorian engraving, it adds character and interest to a study, library, or office wall. It also makes a thoughtful gift for all occasions, including Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, and Father's or Mother's Day.

I Loved It
Format: Kindle
This was my first time reading a book by Elle Alexanda, and it definitely won’t be my last! I was absolutely captivated by the Lou/Ava love story. I found Lou’s vulnerability so endearing. It was an excellent read, and I wish it were available as an audiobook. The story was a slow burn, but it kept me hooked. The flirting and banter between Lou and Ava were so entertaining. I didn’t want the story to end! Well done, Elle!

Romance with a side of Thrill
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I was immediately engrossed in this debut novel, with the thrilling beginning and obvious future romance between Lou and Ava. I thought the setting of the town was wonderful, full of small charm and supportive characters. The little nods towards the continuing threat to Ava’s life were good. The budding romance was great, too! I think the intimacy scenes were soft and perfect. The main reason this didn’t reach 4.5 stars for me (thus would’ve rounded it to 5 instead of down to 4), is because of the POV switches during chapters. They’re a bit jumbled in; the reader is suddenly seeing or hearing things from Lou when it started with Ava, but then it quickly switches back to Ava. It’s not my favorite way for a story to be shared. I also lost a little steam towards the middle-end, right before the big finale. I’m not sure if my other hobby distracted me or if the story hit a slow spot. It’s possible I was hoping for a little more excitement. This story had more romance than thrill.

Blood and Muscle
Format: Kindle
I had this on my shelf for a while. lG reviews were great, the cover was pretty, and it sounded really interesting. It was better than I expected! Love when that happens🥰 The story was great, the writing was good, and the characters were amazing! Ava and Lou's chemistry at first was a little charged. But as the story went and their relationship developed, it turned into something more tender and very intimate. Throw in the witness protection thing, and you have quite exciting romance. I will be reading this again!
