Image description

A map of the Cities of London and Westminster. It depicts London as it stood during the last two years of the Commonwealth, before the Great Fire. Dense clusters of houses appear very close together, separated only by narrow streets - an indication of the city's vulnerability to fire. This is a copy of the 1658 Faithorne map made in 1857.
