This is a late Victorian map of Liverpool, and to my eyes has a very modern look about it. It's only small scale, but it shows the packed streets of Liverpool, even some distance from the centre.
As with many maps, the public buildings and transport links are easy to spot, and the Liverpool Overhead Railway can be seen snaking along the dock road. By this point in time Liverpool has just about the greatest number of docks it would ever have.
Mackenzie's map is a smart little map for showing Victorian Liverpool at a glance.

This is a beautiful piece of art in its own right, making it a wonderful object to hang in your home, and the high quality of the paper makes it perfect for framing.
Note that this map was originally 25cm (10") x 31cm (12"). To get the full detail of this map you must buy a print of at least that size. If one is not available then please contact me for a quote on an original sized print. I can't guarantee you'll be able to read the street names if you buy a postcard-sized one! :)
Note that the images on this page don’t give a great impression of just how good this map is, because the imagery has been compressed. This is a high definition print of a large digital file.
