This article discusses a series of maps created in 1851 by the Reverend S Clark for the National Society, now known as the Church of England Education Office. The maps were designed to educate the poor in geographical knowledge during a time of imperialism, focusing on important fruits, grains, and plants of the era. These botanical maps highlight crops used for sustenance, textiles, and intoxicating drinks. The Royal Geographical Society Picture Library is mentioned as a resource for further information and access to images. [Extracted from the article]
