[London : R. Baldwin], 1772. An attractive antique map of the wards of Langbourn and Candlewick in the heart of the City of London, taking in Lombard Street, Fenchurch Street, Cannon Street, Eastcheap, Gracechurch Street, the Monument, Exchange Alley, etc. The map is decorated with a neatly-worked title-piece and views of four of the local churches, All Hallows Lombard Street, All Hallows Staining (the image is in fact of St. Olave Hart Street), St. Clement Eastcheap and St. Mary Woolnoth. Originally produced for the "London Magazine" in 1768, the present version of the map was utilised in John Noorthouck's part-work "A New History of London including Westminster and Southwark" (London : 1772-1773). Other maps in this series were engraved by Thomas Bowen and this would also appear to be his work.
