Item:1239104406251833 SDUK Liverpool Antique Map Genuine Very Early Edition Knight Gage Survey. "Liverpool, Reduced by Permission from Mr Gage's Elaborate Survey. Published Under the Superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge." The publisher's imprint at the bottom: "London: Charles Knight & Co., 22, Ludgate Street. 1833." Bottom right : "Reduced & Engraved by T Starling." A most attractive map of the City of Liverpool, one of a series of town plans published by the SDUK. The slightly grand title, The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, in fact describes an admirable project, founded in 1826, under the auspices of Lord Brougham, the idea being to publish at a reasonable cost information for people who did not have formal education, or who were self-educated. Charles Knight, the publisher whose imprint is at the bottom on this map of Liverpool, was appointed superintendent of the SDUK in 1827. The map is dated 1833, making it a very early, probably a first edition. From 1836, the map was published by Baldwin and Craddock, who published many of the maps for the Society, and by 1844, Chapman and Hall were the publishers. This makes the example offered here, published by Charles Knight, particularly rare.Indeed, it was published even before Michael Gage's map (issued in 1836), the survey for which is mentioned below the title ("Reduced by permission from Mr Gage's elaborate survey"). The map follows the format of many of the SDUK town plans, with depictions of the principal buildings along the bottom. In addition, there is a plan of the town as it was in 1729, together with a vignette of it at that time from the sea, and another of the Black Rock Lighthouse. The map has attractive original handcolouring. It would frame up very nicely. Size: the sheet measures 41cms x 34.5cms. Condition: Generally in a good condition. Slightly ragged along the top edge (where removed from an atlas?). Two small stains in the centre. Otherwise a lovely clean example with original handcolouring. Photographed within a mount, but I will be sending this without the mount. Free postage within the UK. £8.00 to Europe, £12.00 to USA etc. I have other antique maps, books, prints etc. in my ebay shop - please see my other items.
