EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Civitas Londinum, map of London, 1560" takes us back in time to the Elizabethan era. Created by Ralph Agas, a renowned cartographer from the 16th century, this woodblock print provides a fascinating birds-eye view of London during that period. Measuring an impressive 73x200 cm, this meticulously detailed map showcases every nook and cranny of the city. From its winding streets to its bustling markets and grand landmarks like St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London, it offers a glimpse into what life was like in one of history's most iconic cities. The River Thames flows majestically through the heart of this vibrant metropolis, serving as both a lifeline for trade and transportation. The intricate network of bridges spanning across its waters adds to the charm and character captured within this image. Agas' skillful craftsmanship is evident in his ability to create such an accurate representation without modern technology. This woodblock print serves not only as a historical artifact but also as a testament to Agas' talent as an artist. Preserved by the London Metropolitan Archives for centuries, this remarkable piece now finds itself immortalized on Fine Art Finder thanks to Bridgeman Images. It allows us to appreciate both Agas' artistry and our ever-evolving understanding of London's rich past.
