Description

A woodcut town plan of London derived from the Braun & Hogenberg map. It shows Westminster to St Katherine's Parish, just east of the Tower, c.1560, during the reign of Mary Tudor. At the centre of the map is the Norman St Paul's Cathedral, still with the spire that was hit by lightning in 1561 and not replaced before the building was destroyed in the Great Fire a century later.

Condition:

A good example.
