Description: This plan was published in William Maitland's 'History of London from its Foundation to the Present Time'. Its title features in cartouche at middle right, with compass star at top left. The suits of arms of the map's dedicatees, ward aldermen Robert Alsop and William Baker, appear at top centre and top right respectively. An illustrated view of St Stephen Coleman's church is included at bottom right. Maitland's ward plans were largely derived from Strype, with the illustrations copied from West & Tow's 1736 'Prospect Views of Ancient Churches'.
