Title:

A Large & Accurate Map of City of London

Description:

In 1666, London was almost twice the size it had been at the moment of James I's accession, with much of the new development to the West of the City's boundaries. This left the City itself in its mainly medieval structure of a maze of streets, courtyards and alleys between the churches, almost all of them being tortuous, dark and evil-smelling. It was this structure that the Great Fire cleared away in 1666. There was a requirement to rebuild the City in such a manner as to render another Great Fire impossible. When the Corporation of London's proposals came before Charles II in Council in 1667, they were returned with orders to plot the proposed streets on a map so that the King might better be able to judge their breadth and give directions accordingly. In 1676, the Ogilby and Morgan Survey of the City of London was published. This represents very nearly the first linear ground plan or 'plot' of any British town. It was certainly the first large, multi-sheet plan of a British plan to be so delineated. This facsimile also contains an illustrated introductory text and bibliography by Ralph Hyde, Keeper of Maps and Prints at the Guildhall Library.
Published in association with Guildhall Library, London.
