-------- Original Message -------- Subject: dating a map by G.W. Bacon & Co. Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 11:45:47 -0500 From: nkandoian <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ Does anyone have a clue about how to date maps published by G.W. Bacon & Co., London? I didn't see anything about that publisher in the handy WAML toolbox info about date coding. I have a map, "Bacon's gem map of London and suburbs," (a title which the publisher seemed to use from at least early in the 20th century) with the code "M-1722" on it, and it seems like it might be from the mid-20th century. The address of G.W. Bacon & Co. at that time is given as Norwich St., Fetter Lane, London E.C.4, and the price of the map is 9d. Any advice will be much appreciated. Nancy A.
