An original and rare coloured engraving of 18th-century London with the monument erected in memory of a fire, made by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto. In the foreground is the monument, a column or capital placed in the centre of the square, busy with people and stalls. On the left side are London buildings standing side by side. The sky is clear but with a few looming clouds.
The picture is undated. Another variant of this work by Canaletto exists. The engraving is on display at the London Metropolitan Archives, London.
