Description: A map of England & Wales, subtitled "Parliamentary Representation in 1832 After The Reform Bill." The Reform Act made wide–ranging changes in the electoral system in the United Kingdom due, in part, to the growth of large and powerful cities that grew during the Industrial Revolution. This map is color–coded to distinguish between counties returning various numbers of members to Parliament after the Act was passed, with detailed notations.
