EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print, published by the Royal Antiquarian Society in 1597, offers a unique glimpse into the topography of London as it appeared over 400 years ago. The meticulously detailed map, engraved from a survey made in that year, centers around the iconic Tower of London, a historic fortress and palace located on the north bank of the River Thames. The Tower, which dates back to the late 11th century, is depicted in all its medieval grandeur, surrounded by its moat and connected to the mainland by a bridge. To the north, the print reveals the sprawling complex of the Royal Palace, which was the primary residence of the monarchy until the 17th century. The palace, which included the Chapel Royal, the White Tower, and the Bloody Tower, is shown with its various courtyards and gardens. To the east, the print reveals the bustling area of Barking Church and Hill, which was a popular residential and commercial district. The print also highlights the liberties of the Tower, including the precincts of the Tower Hill, the Tower Liberty, and the Water Lane Liberty. The surrounding area, which was dotted with churches, fields, and gardens, is also depicted in the print. Notable structures include St. Katharine's by the Tower, St. Mary Magdalen Bermondsey, and St. Mary Whitechapel. The River Thames, which played a crucial role in London's economic and social life, is shown winding its way through the city, with various wharves and docks indicated along its banks. This intricately detailed map, produced by the skilled hands of engravers Gulielmus Haiward, Gascoyne, East, Smith, and Field, provides a valuable record of London's topography during the 16th century. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to visualize the city as it was over 400 years ago.
