Title: Stanfords Library Map of London and its Suburbs.
Map By: Edward Stanford.
Published By: Edward Stanford, 1872.
Info: Covers the Thames River, the Grand Surrey Docks, Commercial Docks, West India Docks, Limehouse and Blackwell Reach with the East India docks.
Part of a set of 24 maps that mapped London in 1872.
Born in 1827, and educated at the City of London School, Edward Stanford got into maps after being employed by
Mr Trelawney Saunders at his map and stationers. He became a partner to Saunders in 1852 at the age of 25. In 1853,
the company was dissolved, and Stanford took over the remains of the business with the intent of turning it into a map specialist.
With British colonial expansion pushing the demand for maps worldwide, and being the sole specialist of maps in London, the move was both obvious and lucrative.
The name Stanfords became prominent in 1862 when his project to make the most accurate map of London possible was published.
Company ownership remained in the family until 1947, when it was absorbed into George Philip & Son.
However, in 2001 Stanfords separated from George Philip & Son and the name Stanfords is proudly displayed on both stores and on many lines of maps and books produced by the company.
