Popular Post Melan Posted July 7, 2015 Popular Post Report Posted July 7, 2015 This should be right up the alley of everyone who likes the Thief games. At http://www.locatinglondon.org/, the Centre for Metropolitan History and the Museum of London Archaeology put together an online, interactive map based on a high-res scan of John Roque's 1746 map of London city. This is the real deal, with all the small detail, all the alleyways, and a lot of features to help you navigate it and compare it to both the present, and another map from 1869-80. Here is just a slice: 6 Quote Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

demagogue Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Paris's famous map was also 1746. I wonder if they had a little rivalry going on. Quote What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.
AluminumHaste Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 That's amazing! Hand drawn, just blows my mind. Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.
