EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed and accurate map of the City of London, engraved by John Ogilby. Dating back to 1676, this survey was created with the intention of assisting in plotting land after the devastating Fire of London. Spanning from the Tower to Lincolns Inn Fields, it meticulously describes every street, lane, alley, court, yard, church and house within its boundaries. The historical significance of this map is further enhanced by its connection to Samuel Pepys. The famous diarist resided in lodgings on Seething Lane opposite St Olaves churchyard during this period. As we gaze upon this engraving, we can't help but imagine Pepys walking these very streets and observing the bustling cityscape around him. The image also offers us a glimpse into life along the River Thames at that time. With ships dotting its waters and key landmarks such as Crouched Friars and Tower Wharf visible along its banks, we are transported back to an era when maritime trade played a vital role in shaping London's identity. As admirers of cartography and history alike delve into this remarkable piece of artistry, they will undoubtedly appreciate how it captures not only the physical layout but also the spirit of restoration that prevailed during Stuart times. This particular print is part of a private collection but remains accessible for all to admire thanks to www. bridgemanimages. com
