Puzzle Lisboa

This high-quality puzzle reproduces a map of the city of Lisbon drawn in 1833 by the architect W. B. Clarke for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (United Kingdom) and published in an atlas by Baldwin & Cradock.

The SDUK was founded in 1826 by Lord Henry Brougham, a British statesman who believed in promoting self-education and the dissemination of knowledge to both the working classes and the bourgeoisie who could not afford experienced teachers.
SDUK publications dealt with useful subjects such as history, geography and zoology in an easy way to help those who had just learnt to read improve their reading skills and knowledge.
Among several publications, SDUK published an extraordinarily detailed atlas. At the time, there was nothing like it in the world, in terms of quality and price.
