Summary
| DescriptionCivitas Londinium or The Agas Map of London.jpg |
English: The earliest proper map (as opposed——to panorama) of London known. Attributed——to Ralph Agas. And probably surveyed between 1570. And 1605. The original was 6 foot 0.5 inches long by, "2 feet 4."5 inches wide. This much reduced image is a scan of a copy of a lithograph of a copy, was itself badly repaired with sellotape and "has had to be," "restored"; so is hardly a truly faithful representation of the——original. But few good copies exist and no other detailed public domain images are known. |
