Restoration Dec 4/74
Industries, public buildings, street names and railway lines are indicated on this interesting map of London. This particular map appears in a reduced and retitled state in the: New Topographical Atlas of the Province of Ontario, Miles & Co. 1879. This atlas map however is not credited to Jno. Rogers. There is the hypothesis that Jno. Rogers map of London may have been drawn for the: Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Middlesex. H.R. Page & Co. 1878. The width of Jno. Rogers map is that of a double page map in the Middlesex atlas. The paper, colouring and stylistic aspects of this map are the same as those used in the county atlases. Jno. Rogers was also the draughtsman of numerous maps in county atlases. However, a map of London was never included in the Middlesex county atlas.
London City is listed in the table of contents without a page number, therefore there is no indication where the map would have been located if inserted. Jno. Rogers' London City map may not have been included in the county atlas because of its size. It would have to have been folded for insertion in the atlas, a practice not common in county atlases. The date 1875 is derived from the location and existence of Huron College, the two prominent breweries of John Labatt and John Carling and the existence of the Great Western Railway which became part of the Grand Trunk System about 1882.
