IMAGE number: BL3282830
Image title: An engraved map of London with the title in a square tablet at top right and a reference table with key to churches and other landmarks at bottom right. The map clearly shows the extent of the damage to the city caused by the great fire of 1666: the barren city wards in contrast with bird's eye views of surviving buildings just outside the city. Also by Hollar is the inset map at bottom left entitled A General Map of the Whole Citty of London, Westminster and all the Suburbs. Smaller in scale but more extensive in coverage, the inset map shows at a glance the extent of the damage caused by the fire
Location: British Library, London, UK
