An Atlas of Rare City Maps : Comparative
Urban Design, 1830-1842
by Melville C. Branch, Merrill C. Berman, Leah Dickerman
For the visual historians among us, An Atlas of Rare City Maps is a cartographic feast. It presents
40 map plans of cities in Europe, Russia, the United States, and Asia--all published in the 19th
century by England's Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and all commissioned and
drawn within a period of 13 years. See Munich, Calcutta, Dublin, and Warsaw, Madrid, Moscow,
and New York as they once were, and relish the hand-colored, hand-lettered steel engravings. The
maps are artistic gems, representative of an era of skill, and reproduced in fine detail.
