Description

Fine original antique map published by John Strype in 1755 showing the region around the Church of St. James in Clerkenwell, which was, at the time, on the farthest reaches of London. This is a later state of a map first published in 1720.

The map is detailed, with individual buildings, gardens, roads, and more all shown. A reference in the lower left of the map labels 36 places of interest. The map includes a decorative cartouche and a simple compass rose.

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.
