About this product

Product Information

A splendid - and necessary - publication...a great resource Iain Sinclair Charles Booth's landmark survey of life in late-19th-century London, published for the first time in one volume. In the late nineteenth century, Charles Booth's landmark social and economic survey found that 35 percent of Londoners were living in abject poverty. Booth's team of social investigators interviewed Londoners from all walks of life, recording their comments, together with their own unrestrained remarks and statistical information, in 450 notebooks. Their findings formed the basis of Booth's colour-coded social mapping (from vicious and semi-criminal to wealthy) and his seventeen-volume survey Inquiry into the Life and Labour of the People of London, 1886-1903. Organized into six geographical sections, Charles Booth's London Poverty Maps presents the hand-colored preparatory and printed social mapping of London. Accompanying the maps are reproductions of pages from the original notebooks, containing anecdotes and observations too judgmental for Booth to include in his final published survey. An introduction by professor Mary S. Morgan clarifies the aims and methodology of Booth's survey and six themed essays contextualize the the survey's findings, accompanied by evocative period photographs. Providing insights into the minutia of everyday life viewed through the lens of inhabitants of every trade, class, creed, and nationality, Charles Booth's London Poverty Maps brings to life the diversity and dynamism of late nineteenth-century London.

    Fantastic experience with this seller. I had an issue with the clay in my kit being dried out, which is something they couldn't have known about before me opening the box. I sent them a message and they replied quickly and kindly with a resolution, replacing my kit for me. Overall the kit was fantastic value and arrived brand new, in perfect condition bar the clay. Very trustworthy and helpful.

  • This is a brilliant social history of London done in a wonderful visual manner

    One of the best book content of the social history of London in the 19th century. The addition of period photographs really hammers home just how awful the poverty was in the less salubrious parts of London. The road I used to live on is coloured black. When I lived there is wasn't a wealthy road by any means but all of the houses had indoor bathrooms/toilets, central heating and electricity/gas. It was just my family of four. The only indication of how poor the houses were was the very shallow foundations which allowed mice to move from house to house with great ease and in my 9 years there, they were a constant problem. This book, is a coffee table sized one, is one you can pour over for absolutely hours at a time. Even my Welsh born granddaughter who has only visited London ...

  • Charles Booths London Poverty Maps

    The book was bought as a present for a family member doing family history of our forebears who came to South London in the 1870's. The gift has been very well received and for once I bought an appropriate present. I did not get a look at the book myself, as it was sealed by the publisher but I was impressed with book as I have some knowledge of the contents that shortly I will purchase my own copy.

  • Very large book, full of interesting facts.

    Useful and interesting for my own London family history. Great to be able to relate census address data to the relative poverty/wealth of people in the streets in which my ancestors lived. Note: you will need a magnifying glass to read the maps.
