TUDOR LONDON -- VERTUE, George (1684-1756). Civitas Londinum Ano Dni MDLX. London: Society of Antiquaries, 1737. Engraved bird's-eye-view on 8 sheets, (each sheet 365 x 495mm).
'Londinum Antiqua. This plan shews the ancient extent of the famous Cities of London and Westminster as it was near the begining of the Reign of Queen Elisabeth. These Plates for their great scarcity are re-ingraved to Oblige the Curious and to hand to Posterity this Old Prospect Whereby at one vein may be seen how Much was built of this populous City and parts adjacent at that time' (printed in lower title cartouche). The view is derived from the anonymous map now attributed to Ralph Agas and published around 1633.
