1877 "EAST LAMBETH" A fine and extremely scarce large scale map of the areas in East Lambeth - PECKHAM - NUNHEAD - DULWICH - NEWLANDS - WALWORTH.

Published by Edward Stanford for THE SCHOOL BOARD MAPS OF LONDON. 

Stanford's School Board Map was produced at the request of the School Board Of London. The School Board was formed as a result of the Education Act of 1870 to ensure that every child in the country between the ages of 5 and 13 attended school. The maps were produced to illustrate the locations of existing schools and to show the deficiencies in current school places, as well as where new schools could be located. It is worth noting that the School Board of London only requested 200 sets of Stanford's original 1877 School Board map. These were distributed to School Board members, superintendents of the various London school divisions, school inspectors, and their assistants. Exceptional detail throughout.

Overall size approximately 95cm x 53cm including margins. Dissected into twelve sections and laid to linen.

Condition is exceptional.
