"A New and Accurate Plan of the City of Westminster the Dutchy of Lancaster and Places Adjacent", Cole, Benjamin

These copperplate engravings were published in William Maitland's History and Survey of London, 1756. They are very detailed maps of the streets, lanes, alleys and courts in the ancient city of London. They are richly embellished with architectural profiles of major churches or important buildings, the arms of the mayor and aldermen, elaborate title cartouches and compass roses.

A handsome and detailed plan of the Westminster section of London from Shepherds Market and Berkley Square east to Lincoln Fields and Chancery Lane. Locates Buckingham Palace, St. James Palace, Whitehall Gardens, and more. Adorned by a decorative title cartouche and compass rose.
