This Actuale Survey of London Westminster Soutwark is Humbly Dedicated to Ye Ld Mayor & Court of Aldermen
Large and beautifully engraved map of London, extending from Buckingham Palace in the West to Limehouse in the East. Important buildings, such as guild halls, livery companies, markets, courts, prisons, palaces, and churches are illustrated in profile and listed in an index below the map. Also listed below the map are the parishes and wards of the City of London, as well as 14 public offices. These include Trinity House, the Admiralty Office, the Post Office, and Custom House.
The outer limits of the city at this time were Old Street in the north, Whitechapel and Shadwell to the east, Borough to the south, and Piccadilly to the west. Beyond these areas is open fields dotted with the tiny hamlets of St Pancras, Haggerston, Stepney, and St Marylebone. It is also interesting to note that Buckingham Palace is still labeled here as 'Arlington House' in reference to the Earl of Arlington who constructed a large house on the site in 1674. The lease was sold in 1698 to the Duke of Buckingham who constructed his own house, the foundation of the modern Palace, in 1703. As the first edition of this map was published circa 1690, the change of ownership has not yet been reflected.
This is an example of the third edition of Robert Morden & Philip Lea's map with the title now repeated at the top in French, and with the word 'Actuale' in the title changed from 'Actuall' in the earlier editions. The crisp engraving and charming decorative features, such as the multitude of ships on the river and the buildings drawn in relief, make this a highly desirable map of London.
