LSE POVERTY OS PROOF MAP Chelsea West Brompton Earls Court South Kensington 1928

One of a series of map sheets which have collectively been manually updated to and coloured in 1928. Ordnance Survey Edition of 1916 reprinted 1921 with manual annotations and colour to circa 1928

Hubert Llewellyn Smith, Director of the “New Survey of London Life and Labour” (surveys undertaken 1928-1931). The "New Survey" was a comprehensive update of Charles Booth’s original “Inquiry into the Life and Labour of the People in London” (1886-1903). Smith had been an assistant on Charles Booth’s original Inquiry.

This map was hitherto in the collection of the London School of Economics Geography Department, and as such bears all the hallmarks of having been a preliminary working map utilised during the preparation of the “New Survey of London Life and Labour”, published in 1931 by that institution. A digital copy of the relevant final published map from the "New Survey" covering the area shown in the map for sale can be provided upon request to the buyer.
