This map was produced for inclusion in Kelly's Directories, known for their comprehensive listings and guides to various areas of the United Kingdom, providing valuable historical insight into London's postal regions, transportation networks, and topography at the turn of the 20th century.

The map includes details such as the "Postal Boundary" and "Underground Railways," making it a functional tool for understanding the extent of postal districts and the then-emerging underground transportation system. The map notes " . . .the elevation above the sea level," providing additional utility for postal route planning and general navigation within the urban landscape.

(Alcohol and Drunkness) Father says her shan't sarve yer with no more Beer, cos yer pretty near drunk—

This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph captures a satirical and somewhat sad moment. At the forefront of the scene, an inebriated gentleman, sloppily clad in traditional attire of the era, is sprawled in a chair, pointing animatedly at a sign above the mantelpiece. The sign reads "To be DRUNK on the PREMISES", a clear directive against inebriation.
