Description:

Mounted on linen, Title devised by cataloger, Cartographic material, Scale [ca 1:10,560], Stanford's "School Board map" was produced in 1877 at the request of the School Board Of London. The School Board was formed as a result of the Education Act of 1870 to ensure that every child in the country between the age of 5 and 13 attended school. The maps were produced to illustrate the locations of existing schools and show the deficiencies in current school places, as well as to show where new schools could be located. Stanford used his highly detailed "Library map of London and its suburbs" as the base map for production of the School Board maps. Stanford's library map was first published in 1862, with 10 further editions issued in the years leading up to 1877. The School Board of London only requested 200 sets of Stanford's original 1877 "School Board map". These were distributed to School Board members, superintendents of the various London school divisions, school inspectors, and their assistants, and Chelsea -- City of London -- Finsbury -- Greenwich [east] -- Greenwich [west] -- Lambeth, east -- Lambeth, west -- Marylebone -- Southwark -- Westminster
