About This Item
London, c. 1756. Copper engraving, 20.5 x 34.5 cm, engraved by Benjamin Cole, black and white, blank verso; published in the greatly expanded second edition of Maitlands History of London. Evelyn, Wren and Hooke were among the architects and draughtsmen who submitted masterplans for a wholesale rebuilding of London after the Great Fire, proposing variations on a grid plan, with broad streets, squares and piazzas. In the event, due largely to robust property laws and lack of money, London rose from the ashes along more or less its old lines. Map
