ILLUSTRATED MAPS OF LONDON

Illustrated Map of Central London (2nd edition)We present the illustrated maps of London by House of Cally. In recent years, Cally has produced several meticulously hand-drawn maps of London. Her first foray into the world of map making came in 2014, when she released the first edition Illustrated Map of London. This was a bold and fun depiction of London, featuring famous landmarks and personalities closely associated to London. In 2016, she released the second edition Illustrated Map of London. This project was more ambitious inasmuch that it covered a much larger geographical area of the capital, as well as an abundance of cultural references. Spurred on by the success of this map, in early 2018 Cally embarked on her latest project; the Illustrated Map of London History and Culture.

MAP OF LONDON HISTORY & CULTURE

Map of Central London History and CultureThis map took Cally 11 months to create, from inception to completion. Cally spent months of intense research and fact checking, before moving on to the painstaking process of hand-drawing the map using fineliner pens. The final stage of the map making procedure was the addition of colour using Promarker pens.

Cally chose a pastel colour palette for this project, drawing inspiration from the work of David Hockney and photos of 1950s Las Vegas. This incredibly detailed map is full of London-related facts, iconic landmarks and some lesser known places that the capital has to offer, as well as some famous faces from past and present.
