The map's title appears in a square table at top right. Built-up areas are stippled within the boundaries of the City of London, and crosshatched elsewhere.

Condition Description
Restoration, with some loss of image expertly filled along the margins.

Cf. Howgego 108 for the 1757 edition, this being an unrecorded earlier variant.

Londinum Urbs Praecipua Regni Angliae [London, the Principal City of the Kingdom of England.]

Londinum Urbs Praecipua Regni Angliae [London, the Principal City of the Kingdom of England.]

This fascinating piece, a Latin version of Pierre Aveline's view of London, offers a captivating look into the city's past, specifically during its reconstruction period following the Great Fire of 1666. Rendered in great detail but in a somewhat naive style, the copper engraving captures London's architectural transformation, while simultaneously displaying certain historical incongruities, such as the inclusion of Elizabethan theaters in Bankside. The image provides a glimpse into the vibrant life of the city, highlighting the River Thames with its numerous ships and various iconic landmarks, thus offering a unique historical perspective. This scarce work serves not only as a testament to London's resilience and ability to rebuild and flourish after disaster, but also as an intriguing artifact of artistic expression from the early 18th century.
