SKU: P-6-112671
'Map of the City of London. 1891.'
By day 301,384 people; by night about 37,700. This is the map that accompanied the City of London’s Day-Census of 1891, the Corporation’s answer to a national census that counted people only where they slept, and so made the busiest commercial district in the world look like a shrinking parish. The red discs are the ‘Inlets to the City’: the streets, bridges and stations on the boundary where every person and vehicle entering was counted. Lithographed by Charles Skipper & East for James Salmon’s report Ten Years’ Growth of the City of London, the folding plan names the streets and shades the principal buildings, among them the Bank, the Guildhall, the General Post Office, St Paul’s, Smithfield Market, the Custom House and the railway termini.
