A highly detailed plan of central London including Cheapside, Poultry, New Kings Street, Queens Street, Grocer's Hall, Guildhall, St. Mary Bow Church, Honey Lane market etc.
Enhanced with later hand colouring. Dated in the plate.
The level of detail can be appreciated from the close up image provided.
All the streets and important places are named with a further 12 places identified in a numbered key.
Stow originally published his survey in 1598 with a second edition in 1603. John Strype saw a great need for an updated survey and subseqently published a much expanded and amended version in 1722 with a further edition in 1744. It remains a fascinating record of 18th century London.
