Street plan of Peterhead 1868

Street plan of Peterhead 1868


  Image size: 21*25 ins

High quality giclee print of Recreated Victorian map by Peter 
John Adams who for many years gained a wealth of experience in
 mapping with the Ordnance Survey.
 His interest in history and his fascination with the industrial revolution through his early time as a surveyor in the cotton towns of Lancashire, led him to research old maps of the nineteenth century. He has created these maps to give others, with a similar love of the period, the opportunity to discover how their towns and  villages looked during that time of great social and economic change in the heat of the industrial revolution.
The detail contained in each map is most impressive. Based on
 the comprehensive first large scale surveys by the Ordnance
 Survey almost every tree and pathway is shown, streets and
  lanes named, pumps and wells in gardens seen and every public
  building and factory labelled creating a picture of the town over which the imagination can roam.
                                                .

Brian Roylance founded Genesis Publications in 1974. His aim was to start a unique publishing company true to the arts of printing and craftsmanship and to establish a community shared by its authors and readers. Years later, in 1995, he found himself explaining the nature of hand-bound books in an interview with the New York Times and noted, "I suppose to some extent I am stuck in a time warp. I don't know of many people who go to this much trouble to produce a book anymore. But I think there is a future for it."

Today many other publishers have been inspired by the work of Brian Roylance but few, if any, have matched his eye for quality or the centuries-old traditions of hand book-binding that Genesis employ. As a result, over the 30 years since work began on our first book, Genesis has developed a worldwide reputation for producing exceptional signed limited editions.
