The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK),
which flourished for 20 years in early Victorian England,
was devoted to producing high quality but cheap literature to the lower
classes. The SDUK can be credited with demonstrating to
a skeptical book trade the existence of a mass market and the commercial
possibilities of mass production of cheap books. The Series of Maps was
one of the SDUK's most successful ventures; indeed, proceeds from the
maps financed many other SDUK project. The SDUK archive, located at the
library of University College, London, and the basis of this research,
provides a wealth of information about publishing practices of the day.
This extremely detailed authentic map
of SE Germany, Switzerland, W Austria, and N. Italy
