World As It Was: Walk Through London, 1850
A browser-based historical city explorer that reconstructs places by year, from London in 1666 to Colombo in 1700.
Field notes
Visitors choose a city and historical year, then follow a six-stop route whose stops correspond to locations where the described places or activities stood. The homepage lists twelve walks across London, Rome, Stockholm, and Colombo, with London dates including 1666, 1755, 1850, and 1908. Its evidence system separates material known from the record from strong reconstruction and interpretation, while the archive references sources such as Gustave Doré and the Yale Center for British Art.
