A lovely plan of this part of London, with key buildings drawn in small scale onto the map. Dedicated by an inscription running along the bottom to Samuel Fludyer Esq.r., whose coat of arms is at centre bottom. Title in decorative cartouche to left and compass rose to right. Lovely vignette views in each corner of: ‘Guild Hall Chapel adjoining to Guild Hall’, ‘The South View of Grocer’s Hall’, ‘South View of St. Mildred’s Church in the Poultry’ and ‘West View of Blackwell Hall’.
Very good condition, some very slight browning to left, folds just beginning to tear in top and bottom margins.
