EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from 1885 showcases a detailed "Map of Metropolitan London showing the Parliamentary Boroughs and Divisions". The intricate artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of 19th century London. The map highlights the various parliamentary boroughs and divisions within metropolitan London, providing valuable insight into how power was distributed during this era. It is evident that great care was taken to accurately depict each boundary line and label every significant area. One cannot help but be drawn to the majestic River Thames flowing through the heart of this bustling metropolis. Its meandering path serves as a reminder of both the historical significance and geographical importance it held for trade and transportation in Victorian England. This print is not only aesthetically pleasing but also historically significant due to its connection with the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. This legislation played a pivotal role in reshaping electoral boundaries across Britain, ensuring fairer representation for citizens. Preserved in a private collection, this remarkable piece invites us to delve into London's past while appreciating the artistry behind its creation.
