Attractive and detaile plan of London in the 17th century and printed in the 18th.

At the north end of Lambeth there were three forts each with four half bulwarks, one at Vauxhall, one by the Dog and Duck in St George's Fields and one near the end of Blackman Street, the present day Newington Causeway.

Good hand colour.

Excellent condition.
