Notes |
This map is referenced in James Howgego, 'Printed Maps of London c.1553-1850' 2nd edition, p.48, under cat.8. Howgego tells us it is based on a derivative of the Agas map by George Vertue (a), and it is the earliest and largest of the several map views based on Vertue's version. For an impression of Vertue's map in the Crace Collection in the BM see 1880,1113.1117-1118. In Heal Topography there is also an aerial photograph of London, printed as a poster by the Underground Railway in 1927. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
