Charles Knight London 1844-52

steel engraved town plan; 30 x 39 cm; exc. cond.

Very detailed town plan of Antwerp with insets of a small panoramic view and the environs with some sketches of important sites, published by the Society for the Diffusion for Useful Knowledge. The Society started to publish maps of the world as a compendium to the ?Library of Useful Knowledge? from 1829 onwards. Their aim was to reach a large market by keeping production costs and end prices down but , nevertheless, their maps excelled in high quality, details, accuracy and their decorative appeal.
