A map of London and its environs, reaching St Albans in the north, clockwise to Hatfield, Gravesend, Reigate, Leatherhead and Chertsey, with the roads marked. The title cartouche features a figure of Britannia with a cornucopia filled with gold coins, and a merchant dealing with figures in Asian dress, both symbolising London's wealth through trade. Although the title is in Latin, the detail and key are in English.
