Londen .. Westmunster u: Soudwark

Bodenehr's scarce map of London is carefully engraved with a great amount of detail, despite its small size. The map is bordered by a textual description of the city (in German) while a further fold-out sheet acts as a gazetteer to the map listing 164 buildings and places of note numbered on the map. Bodenehr gives credit in his text to Robert Morden of Cornhill for the source of the map, although he probably used the Morden/Lea map of London of c.1700 as his inspiration. The map was published in the "Atlas Curieux Oder Neuer Und Compendieuser Atlas ..." and is rarely found in fresh condition with text attached. An attractive, miniature map of the capital.
