[Part 60] Norton Falgate, now Norton Folgate, and Shoreditch High Street (South) [Cross streets: Primrose Street, White Lion Street (Folgate Street), Worship Street, Spital Square, Plough Yard] // Local area map // Vignette view: Jas. Corss, tailor & Draper, No 25. Corss & Tuckett, Boot & Shoe Makers, 16 Shoreditch, London. Tallis's Street Views are described by the London Topographical Society (LTS) as "among the rarest of all publications of London interest"; we believe we are offering these for retail sale as individual parts for the first time this century. Originally issued in 88 parts between 1838 and 1840, they show in extraordinary detail the elevations of London's main commercial thoroughfares of the time. The LTS dates parts 1-36 as having been issued in 1838, parts 37-79 in 1839 and parts 80-88 in 1840. The Street Views, which served both as a street guide and a trade directory, were clearly devised as an advertising medium. As well as showing detailed elevations of all the houses and other buildings on both sides of each street, each View includes details of many of the businesses trading from the street. Each elevation is accompanied by a map prominently showing the street in relation to its neighbourhood, and a vignette view of either the street itself, a famous building upon it, or a particular shop or business (presumably as a paid advertisement). The accompanying text includes numerous further trade adverts, as well as fascinating descriptions of the character of the street itself and its neighbouring streets. by Tallis, John. Published 1839. Antique steel engraved street elevation view / plan, complete with four accompanying text pages containing descriptions of the main street shown in the plan and its neighbouring streets, together with advertisements for local businesses, but lacking the wrapper.
