The Map of Brighton, published around 1890 by the renowned British cartographer George W. Bacon, offers a detailed and evocative portrait of one of Victorian England’s most fashionable seaside resorts at the height of its prosperity. Bacon, celebrated for his accessible and finely engraved urban and regional maps, combined cartographic accuracy with visual clarity, making his works both practical tools and cultural artifacts of the 19th century.

The map depicts Brighton during a period of rapid expansion and transformation, when the town had evolved from a modest fishing village into a thriving destination for leisure, health, and seaside recreation. Its broad seafront, dominated by the Grand Hotel, the Palace Pier, and the elegant Royal Pavilion, is meticulously drawn, while the expanding network of terraces, railways, and promenades reflects the town’s growing appeal among visitors from London and beyond.

By the late 19th century, Brighton had become a symbol of Victorian modernity—an urban landscape shaped by tourism, architecture, and social change. Bacon’s map captures this dynamic environment, recording not only the principal streets and landmarks but also the surrounding countryside, railway connections, and coastline that framed the town’s distinctive character.

Produced with the precision and artistry typical of George W. Bacon & Co., the map served both as a guide for visitors and a snapshot of a city in motion, bridging geography and social history.
