A highly detailed map of Victorian London, published under the Superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) in 1835. Drawn by Architect W.B. Clarke, published by Baldwin & Cradock, 47 Paternoster Row, London, 1835. Engraved, printed and hand-coloured by J. Henshall.

This scarce map of London contains an astonishing amount of detail. There are two attractive views of London in upper-right corner and innovative size comparison of principal buildings below. Because of the sheer amount of information, much of the original map text is very small - please note this when choosing the size below.

William Barnard Clarke (born 1806) was an English architect and archaeologist. A gifted sketch artist, he published a collection of maps of European cities. William Barnard Clarke was a President of the Architectural Society in London in 1834-35. Clarke was also an active member of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.

The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK), was founded in 1826 with the object of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching and was mainly intended for the middle and working classes. SDUK published inexpensive texts intended to adapt scientific and similarly high-minded material for the rapidly expanding reading public. Its printers included Baldwin & Cradock, later succeeded by Charles Knight. The Society commissioned work and dealt with the printers and distributed the publications; profits were used to continue the Society's work. However, attempts to reach the working class market were largely unsuccessful. The Society was eventually wound up in 1848, though some of its works continued to be published.

This poster is a high quality "giclée" reproduction of a restored antique original, custom-printed on Standard Single-weight Matt Coated art paper 140gsm or  Heavyweight Matt Coated art paper 230gsm (more of a thin card density), or superb Epson Matt Canvas 320gsm, according to your choice. We use the latest UltraChromeHDX pigment inks which guarantee 60 years of colour  permanence (up to 200 years fade-proof for colour prints).  This poster is suitable for mounting and framing, as well as direct display on a wall.

This high-resolution, museum-grade fine art print is produced from a unique restored image. Printed on premium archival-quality art paper or canvas, it makes a striking addition to any interior as wall décor or a poster, and a memorable gift for lovers of antique and vintage maps, collectors of historic prints, historians, and explorers. Almost indistinguishable from the original Victorian engraving, it adds character and interest to a study, library, or office wall. It also makes a thoughtful gift for all occasions, including Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, and Father's or Mother's Day.

Cheaper than the supply house.
Size: 42'' x 28''
I used black pipe similar to this to build some shelves in my man cave. I went looking to build a studio desk and found that Lowe's wanted $8 per floor flange (~$96 just for flanges and not including the pipe, tees, or the other fittings). Even supply house dot com wanted $4 per flange (~$48, but was still missing the other parts AND they didn't offer them because of supply chain issues). For about $65, this was a great buy. Yes everything is greasy. This will be the case regardless of where you buy it. I used some gloves, shop towels, and acetone and it cleaned up easily. For a top, I used a pre-made countertop from Lowe's (~$100) and a 1x4 piece of poplar I had sitting around.

Pipes don't assemble square, nice stand though.
Size: 42'' x 28''
These arent standard SCH40 pipe for starters. Significantly lighter. Easier to move around and sturdy enough to support a table, but this isnt pipe. As such, when I threaded it together, it wasn't square. I was able to flatten it mostly, but I had to use a clamp to bend the assembled piping to sguare so it would attach to the table runners. It's fine, but it surprised me. It looks nice, and it provides plenty of support for the table. All good. Several folks complained that the pipes are oily. They are supposed to be to prevent rust. I wiped them down with a few cleaner wipes, and they are fine. Be aware that this doesn't come with instructions or the wood screws you may need for your table top.

Sturdy & Tuff going on 6 months +
Size: 28'' x 14'', Size: 28'' x 14''
I mounted a thick heavy piece of butcher block to these legs and made a desk. Easy to assemble and install. Mark the holes, pre drill pilot holes and screw them in. I will say I knew they were going to be greasy out of the box. They grease them in the factory to prevent rusting so just wipe them off with an old rag and your good to go. They haven’t felt wobbly or anything like that and butcher block is pretty heavy. I have to say I love them and much cheaper than buying from the hardware store. I’m thinking about building a second one and I would definitely purchase again. Again very sturdy and easy to assemble. People mad about the grease need to realize it’s done as an anti rust measure and it wipes right off and zero rust thus far.

Absolutely not.
Size: 28'' x 14'', Size: 28'' x 14''
Truly terrible product. If you're wanting extreme DIY, aka cleaning it repeatedly, no instructions, and still not impressive quality, this is the item for you. After much time spent trying to remove the nasty oily substance all over the pipes and some sort of weird dirt coming out of the pipes as well, it still hadn't fully come off. When cleaning off the grease, it also took the color off of the item and created a weird, lined look on the pipes, like it was some legit oil rubbed crud on it, instead of paint to look oil rubbed. There is also what appears to be rust on some of the pieces. If someone actually wanted to use the desk and actually bumped into one of the pipes, it would without doubt leave oily residue on clothing. Pictures included of the box without pieces in it as it beautifully captures just how much crud was all over. 100% do not recommend and would give zero stars if it was allowed, but alas.

No boards come with it.
Size: 42'' x 28'', Size: 42'' x 28''
It was simple to put together, though it did not come with instructions. I had to use pictures of the product as a reference when putting it together. Parts were oily, so you must use gloves or wipe them down. I bought the boards from Lowes, size for the boards were 28" x 40" and 9" x 40", and 3/4" thick. I had to buy 5/8" screws to screw the boards down. Overall, once it was all put together, the desk is very sturdy, simple and gave me options how to set up my computers.
