Historical map of London from the late sixteenth century, created in 1572 by Joris Hoefnagel. It is a hand-colored engraving.
The map illustrates a London divided by the Thames, and organized into districts according to the city plan then in force. As can be seen, on the upper side of the river there is a large urban development, while on the lower part, green areas dominate. On the lower part there are also two inscriptions, while in the upper corners there are the banners of London.
Georg Hoefnagel or Hufnagel was a Flemish painter, cartographer and illustrator.
