This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Map of London from Civitates Orbis Terrarum, created by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenburg in 1572. The coloured engraving, masterfully reproduced by Joris Hoefnagel, offers a glimpse into the city's medieval past. Measuring at 30.4x48.2 cm, this detailed map takes us on an immersive journey through time. It highlights iconic landmarks such as the Tower of London standing tall amidst the bustling cityscape.
