. . ..: EPiSODE SUMMARY :.. . .

Documentary series charting the visual appeal and
historical meaning of maps.

The British Library is home to a staggering 4.5 million
maps, most of which remain hidden away in its colossal
basement, and the programme delves behind the scenes to
explore some amazing treasures in more detail. This is
the story of three maps, three 'visions' of London over
three centuries; visions of beauty that celebrate but
also distort the truth. It's the story of how urban
maps try to impose order on chaos.

On Sunday 2 September 1660, the Great Fire of London
began reducing most of the city to ashes, and among the
huge losses were many maps of the city itself. The
Morgan Map of 1682 was the first to show the whole of
the City of London after the fire. Consisting of
sixteen separate sheets, measuring eight feet by five
feet, it took six years to complete. Morgan's beautiful
map symbolised the hoped-for ideal city.

In 1746 John Rocque produced at the time the most
detailed map ever made of London. Like Morgan's,
Rocque's map is all neo-Classical beauty and clinical
precision, but the London it represented had become the
opposite. In engravings of the time, such as Night, the
artist William Hogarth shows a city boiling with vice
and corruption. Stephen Walter's contemporary image,
The Island, plays with notions of cartographic order
and respectability. His extraordinary London map looks
at first glance to be just as precise and ordered as
his hero Rocque's but, looking closer, it includes 21st
century markings such as 'favourite kebab vans' and
sites of 'personal heartbreak'.
