"Regionis quae est circa Londinum … Ausfuhrliche Geographische Vorstellung der Gegend um London…", Homann Heirs

This very detailed map centered on London was originally produced by Thomas Bowles. It covers the vicinity from Maidenhead to Rochester and details the surrounding roads, villages, churches, wind and water mills, etc. The map extends to include P. High Wickham, Chelmsford, Bishops Stratfort, and below Rochester. The lower quarter is a fine engraved bird's-eye view "London u Westminster von der Sud-Seyte" showing London from across the Thames, which is densely filled with boats and ships of all description. Legend uses icons to locate towns, market towns, parish churches, gentlemen's houses, castles, wind mills, and villages.
