A NEW PLAN of the CITY AND LIBERTY of WESTMINSTER

The engraver-turned-cartographer Thomas Jeffrey began commissioning original surveys for a series of English county maps in the early 1760s. This is the combination of two separate maps: a map of Westminster, with a list of districts and parishes in the County of Middlesex; and an adjoining map of London featuring list of parishes in the County of Surrey and key to colours. The map is a later edition of Jeffrey's map of 1766, with the imprint, dedication and City arms omitted, updated to include the New Road, the first London bypass, and the roads across St. George's Fields.

This is the third edition of William Faden's 1787 map, which was printed 11 times over a period of 25 years. Faden called himself "Geographer to the King”, and was very interested the work of the Ordnance Survey. In 1800 he published 'An account of the operations carried on for accomplishing a trigonometrical survey of England and Wales'. Faden's skill as a cartographer was so well-noted that his map of 'The Country Twenty-Five Miles round London' was re-engraved for the French War Department in preparation for an invasion of England. This map includes a list of Surrey Parishes within the Bills of Mortality, an area of 109 parishes in and near London from which a weekly report of deaths was collated. Westminster is divided into 12 districts, each indicated by coloured boundaries. William Faden

A New Map of the Cities of London and Westminster and Ye Borough of Southwarke with the Suburbs

Large map of London with prospect view of the City from Bankside in a strip above the main plan. Entitled "Prospect of London as it was flourishing before the destruction by fire", the view is based on Hollar's celebrated view of London from Bankside of 1647 and shows London from Worcester House (just west of the Savoy) on the west to Wapping and St Catherine's Docks to the east. The view shows London before the fire being composed almost exclusively of Gothic buildings, Inigo Jones’s Banqueting Hall at Whitehall and the classical restoration of St. Paul’s cathedral being the only examples of Renaissance architecture. The map, with title in cartouche, reference tables at top right and top left and scale bar at bottom centre, is a very minute bird's eye view of the cities of London and Westminster, the borough of Southwark and the suburbs showing London after the fire growing in area faster than ever before. Stepney Church, for example, marks a new point of growth east of the city. Hollar, Wenceslaus
