Charles Booth's 1889 Descriptive Map of London Poverty http://www.umich.edu/~risotto/home.html Charles Booth's map of London poverty has been reproduced on this site. The map, which was originally created in 1889, has been scanned and prepared for viewing over the WWW by Sabiha Ahmad of the University of Michigan. The map has been divided into seventy-two sections, each of which can be viewed in two different sizes. The original map was created following Charles Booth's survey of life and labour in London. The map indicates different levels of wealth and poverty thorough a colour coded scheme. The reproduction of the map has worked well with the colours being fairly clear. However, some of the smaller text on the map can be difficult to read. The site includes a background section and an index, but these do not currently have any content.
