The map shows Europe with its post-Versailles borders; British Isles have the same red border for both GB and the whole of Ireland, but acknowledging the existence of the "Irish Free State". International borders along the southern and the eastern Mediterranean indicate colonial or mandated possessions. Within all the countries map shows main and subsidiary railway lines, displaying the great contrast between the extensive networks within Germany, most of England or northern France and the less densely covered eastern and south-eastern parts of Europe. Within Russia the railway linking St. Petersburg to Moscow with the kink (straightened in 2001) in the line known as the "Tsar's finger" catches one's eye.

This lovely map will appeal to anyone interested in this great country.

Stanfords Stanford's Folio Europe Map, by J. Arrowsmith (1884)

The Stanford's Europe Map is from a fascinating series of reproductions from our Edward Stanford Cartographic Collection archive. This map was made by the famous cartographer John Arrowsmith and published by Stanfords in 1884. The map presents the continent at the height of its great empires: imperial Russia with Finland and much of Poland, united Germany including Alsace and part of Lorraine, the Austro-Hungarian Empire (although already post the Compromise, still shown here as one country) with north-western Balkans, and the Ottomans still with Albania and much of the present-day Greece. Country boundaries are outlined in bright colours while the pale background with subtle hachuring indicating the mountain ranges are in most places printed very faintly so names of towns and numerous geographical region marked on the map are easy to read. The map also has an unusually large number of names of smaller rivers. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 5° intervals.

Stanfords Stanford's Folio British Isles Map (1884)

The Stanford's British Isles Map is from a fascinating series of reproductions from our Edward Stanford Cartographic Collection archive. Published in 1884, this map shows the British Isles with their old historic counties. Bright colours highlight the boundaries of the old counties as they were. The pale background makes all the place names easy to read. In common with other maps published by Stanfords at that time, an unusually large number of small rivers are named, even the lovely Cuckmere is there. Ironically perhaps, the map provides an interesting contrast between the significant administrative changes within Great Britain and the retention of the county borders within Ireland. This map includes lots more interesting historical finds, for example; London looks significantly smaller than it does on maps today mostly falling within the county of Middlesex. This is a great map that beautifully tells this history of counties.
