Résumé:
Over the past two thousand years London has developed from a small town into one of the world's largest and most dynamic cities. This book charts that growth and the city's transformation through hundreds of maps culled from the collection of the British Library's Map Library. Including official documents, individual endeavors, hand-drawn renditions, and technologically advanced replicas, these maps represent a variety of perspectives. Utilitarian maps show the city as it is and serve to elucidate its inner workings, while carefully wrought plans show the city as it was envisioned. This book reveals the inside story of the creation, growth, and change of London.
