This Place Then: VICTORIA, BATTERSEA

from £95.00

Victoria & Battersea – 1916

Limited edition, archival fine art print

Edition of 15 | B1 size (700 × 1000mm)
Edition of 30 | B2 size (500 × 700mm)

Historic cartography, layered with the colours of now.

This large-format limited edition map captures a century of transformation across a remarkable corner of London. The base map is drawn from the 1916, 25-inch London Sheet IX.1 Ordnance Survey, overprinted in 2025 to reveal the layers of change: new building footprints, green spaces, sports grounds, woodlands, and significant landmarks such as pubs and cultural buildings.

Every edition is created through a process of digital georeferencing high resolution scans of archival OS maps, then aligning contemporary topographical data over the top. The new layers are added to the old maps to create beautiful and sometimes surprising views of how familiar places looked a century earlier. The selection of colours and overlays are chosen for both clarity and aesthetic impact, highlighting the ways landscapes, cities and memories evolve.

Look closely to spot the three distinctive sports tracks, public houses woven into the historic fabric, and the newly revitalised Battersea Power Station — once marshland and reservoirs. The overprint spills intentionally beyond the map’s border, signalling what is new against what was.

Printed on a subtly textured paper with an archival life of 100+ years.

This is the first release in Map Editions’ large-format series.

Reserve number 1 of 15 or 1 of 30 for an additional £50.
