(This map, executed about 1570, is based on the same original map, 1554-58, made use of by Braun and Hogenbergius, although Agas has introduced a few changes.

View of London. (In the background of an engraving, made about 1603, representing King James on horseback.) Hondius, J. London. (A small view of the city set in the large map of "The Kingdome of Great Britaine and Ireland" printed in John Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine, London, 1611. The plate is dated 1610, but the inset view of London seems to have been based on an earlier view, now lost, representing the city as it was in or before 1605. Apparently the views, in the Delaram portrait of King James, and on the title-pages of Henry Holland's Her?ologia, 1620, and Sir Richard Baker's Chronicle, 1643, were based also on this lost view.) Visscher, C.J. London. (This splendid view was printed in 1616; but it was drawn several years earlier, and represents the city as it was in or before 1613.) Merian, M. London. (In J.L. Gottfried's Neuwe Archontologia Cosmica, Frankfurt am Mayn, 1638. Based mainly on Visscher's View, but with additions from some other earlier view not yet identified.) [Ryther, A.] The Cittie of London. (This map, erroneously attributed to Ryther in the Catalogue of the Crace Collection, is often misdated 1604.
