    The Maps Descriptive of London Poverty are perhaps the most distinctive product of Charles Booth's Inquiry into Life and Labour In London (1886 - 1903). An early example of social cartography, each street is coloured to indicate the income and social class of its inhabitants. Classification of poverty The seven classes are described on the legend to the maps. The legend is available online with further descriptions of the background to the maps: booth.lse.ac.uk/static/a/4.html and also at the foot of each map. You can also view this material on your mobile device and interact with the notebook entries associated with the study. booth.lse.ac.uk/
