DESCRIPTION:John Britton was a prolific author\, editor and publisher of i
 llustrated works on the landscape and architecture in nineteenth century B
 ritain\, subjects he encompassed in a reformed vision of topography\, conc
 erned with modernity as well as antiquity\, and designed to appeal to a wi
 dening reading public. Britton was also a founder member of the Royal Geog
 raphical Society and a number of institutions dedicated to the ‘diffusio
 n of knowledge’. This paper addresses some of Britton’s graphic works\
 , particularly on cities\, notably a display map of London and a panorama 
 of Bristol\, in terms of wider movements for cultural reform.
