Edward Stanford established Stanford’s Ltd. in London in 1853. Perhaps the most interesting items are the propaganda maps produced by the company not just for the domestic market but also for overseas, such as the Spanish language map aimed at neutral Spanish speaking countries. Stanford’s produced a large number of maps, many of which show the frontline rather than just the pre-existing topography, particularly the half-inch maps.
