Heya,

Does anyone know where I could find a map of London in the mid 1800's online?  Especially one that's copyright free? :)

Peace,

There's some stuff up at Dickens' London page and lots on this page of maps. FWIW when googling, UK historians and archivists are most likely to refer to maps from the 1800s as '19th century', or '19C'.

Hey Troy,

The Bolles collection atlas at the Perseus Project is awesome:

Hey- I may not be able to help much with the maps of london (at least further than the sites already given which I am familiar with already) however, I am a big fan of the 1800's and 1700's and may be able to assist you in your project. That is a truly fascinating time for history, and besides which, the dress sense was pretty cool too!! :) email me if you like at micahsicotte@yahoo.ca and we can discuss further.
