This week’s highlights range from scientific discovery to organised crime. Antonino Cutrera’s remarkable 1900 map charts the distribution of Mafia activity across Sicily, while three maps of coral reefs and tropical atolls illustrate Charles Darwin’s pioneering subsidence theory of atoll formation. Three scarce, large-format prints capture the sporting and ceremonial life of Eton College. An extensive and affordable group of compact Fullarton maps covers some of the world’s less frequently mapped regions and includes an early plan of Singapore. Other highlights include Thomas Cook’s literary and historical map of London, an RNLI wreck chart, a Canning Town estate-sale plan, a large-scale plan of Bolton, and John William Lubbock’s paired 1831 tide charts, published in the Royal Society’s Philosophical Transactions—an important early attempt to map high-water times around Britain and across the wider world.
