[London : R. Baldwin], 1772. A most attractive eighteenth-century plan of the adjacent wards of Castle Baynard and Farringdon Ward Within at the western end of the City of London. Centred on St. Paul's (shown in elevation) the map takes in Newgate Street, the western end of Cheapside, Ludgate Hill, Carter Lane, Upper Thames Street and the roads southwards to Blackfriars and the Thames.

Other maps in this series were engraved by Thomas Bowen and this would also appear to be his work.
