The

London. These materials include not only conventional print sources but
many pieces that are unique or quite rare: folio descriptions of the city
from limited print runs, contemporary 19th century maps in various shapes
and formats, illustrations and prints from the 17th through the 19th century
all of which that capture a precious (and now largely forgotten) record
of how the British represented this city.
