Description

Scarce map of London, based upon the Ralph Agas view of London, published in 1563.

This is a retrospective map of Elizabethan London, giving us an idea of how people in the late 18th century viewed the Elizabethan capital. The present-day Covent Garden is an area of fields named "Convent Garden", indicating that the area belonged to the Abbey of St Peter's at Westminster before the dissolution of monasteries in the reign of Henry VIII.

The location of Tower Bridge is marked, although the actual bridge was not planned until 1879. This indicates that Londoners were thinking about bridging the river at this point one hundred years before the decisive plan to do so.

Key includes the names of 10 important locations.

A View of London As It Was in the Year 1647

This 1756 engraving by R. Benning, titled A View of London As It Was in the Year 1647, presents an exquisite panorama of London as it appeared before the Great Fire of 1666. Printed on two joined sheets, this original engraving offers a detailed view from Southwark, stretching from Westminster in the west to the Tower of London in the east. The work follows Wenceslas Hollar's famed "Long View", reflecting London's architecture and urban landscape in the mid-17th century. Accompanying the image are two keys that identify 54 principal buildings, albeit with some notable inaccuracies, including references to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
