[London : for A. Churchill, J. Knapton & others, 1720]. A fine antique map of the area to the west of the City of London - Ludgate Hill and Ludgate Street, the area of Carter Lane and Thames Street stretching south to the river, with Newgate and the western end of Cheapside to the north, and a stylish depiction of St. Paul's Cathedral at the centre. The names of seventy-eight smaller side-streets and alleys are given in a numbered key. Originally produced by Richard Blome in the late seventeenth century, the map remained unpublished until the present version appeared with the 1720 edition of John Stow's "Survey of London".
Copper line engraving on paper. Later hand colour. Engraved surface 295 x 350mm (approx. 11-5/8" x 13-3/4"). Faint tanning to original vertical fold, but overall in very good and clean state. A guaranteed genuine antique map. Adams 25/039. Hyde (Ward Maps) 78/1.
