Description: 1755 Stow's Map of Shoreditch & Norton Folgate
Title: 1755 Stow Shoreditch
Credit: en:John Stow's map of London in 1755, the creator (and assumed copyrightholder) died in 1605 - which is, I suspect before copyright laws came into being. Originally engraved for Richard Blome (1635-1705) in the late seventeenth century, the map was first published in 1720, then appeared in John Stow's A Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster (London 1754). The map can be seen here British Library London:A life in maps, in an interactive version. (accessed 14 May 2007) The map also exists in digital form on the 1998 CD-ROM Hackney on Disk, a collaboration of en:Sutton House (en:NT) and en:London Borough of Hackney archives, funded by the en:Heritage Lottery Fund to make archives on Hackney accessible to the public.
