Whitbread's New Plan of London - a map of Victorian London by Josiah Whitbread, 1858 art print poster canvas gift

The Whitbread's New Plan of London map was first published in 1851 just prior to the opening of the "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations", or simply the Great Exhibition. The central London and its iconic locations, buildings and bridges are depicted by Whitbread in great detail and labelled.

Josiah Whitbread was a London based map publisher, active in the middle to later part of the 19th century, with the company address at 142 Oxford Street, London. He published several large format maps and street guides, mostly focusing on London. When he retired, his map plates were sold to Philip & Son, who republished them under their own imprint. Little else is known of Whitbread's life or his publishing company.
