5 color maps 68x88 or smaller, with 60+23 pages of text and index. Includes 1 map on 4 sheets, and 1 single map 68x88, folded into 21x12.5, mounted on linen in a band attached to the back cover. dated 1889-1891. Detailed town plan to show resident's means in 7 classes, wealth to poverty. Bound in olive cloth covered boards with title "Labour and life of the people : Maps etc. Appendix to Vol. 2." stamped on cover and on spine. Charles Booth's Inquiry into the Life and Labour of the People in London, undertaken between 1886 and 1903 was one of several surveys of working class life carried out in the 19th century. It is the only survey for which the original notes and data have survived and therefore provides a unique insight into the development of the philosophy and methodology of social investigation in the United Kingdom. Booth's four sheet Poverty map colour-coded streets according to the degree of wealth of the inhabitants, ranging from black ('Lowest class'), through shades of blue and purple ('Poor', 'Mixed', 'Fairly Comfortable'), to red ('Well to do') and yellow ('Wealthy'). Booth (1840-1916), owner of the Booth Shipping Line, acted in response to an 1886 Pall Mall Gazette article that claimed that 25% of Londoners lived in poverty. Booth regarded this figure as wildly exaggerated, so recruited a team of volunteer researchers (including his cousin Beatrice Potter) to compile an analysis of social conditions based on field visits and interviews with local police, clergy and employers. The First Series of 'Life and Labour' (1889 maps shown here), covering the East End, showed that 35% lived in poverty (with thanks to Altea Gallery notes).

Note
Very late date for this map. Many changes in the built area of the city, when comparing this to the 1881 and 1873 issues. Concentric circles are added showing distances from the Ferry Building, and many subdivisions have been added in the southern and western parts of the city. This map shows the downtown filled in solid with buildings, and new development pushing outward. The index is unchanged from the 1881 edition. The internal development of Golden Gate Park has been extended all the way to the ocean. With the signature of a real estate agent who appears to have located some lots for his client in red on the map. Map is folded into light blue card board covers 18x11.5 with "Bancroft's Map Of San Francisco. The Bancroft Company Booksellers And Stationers San Francisco, Cal. 25 Cents" printed in black.
