A rare panorama of the City of London as viewed from the south bank. The view was based, as was Jollain's view of Paris, on Mattheus Merian's prototype. Hampstead, Hackney and Stepney are named in the distance, while in the City, St Paul's (pre-Wren, of course), St Bride's and the "Tour de Londres" are amongst the many buildings named. Buildings on the south bank are also named and the Thames is populated with boats and ships - a veritable hive of activity. A simple title appears on a banderole at the top of the page flanked by the royal arms and the arms of the City of London. Beneath the panorama is a description of London in both French and Latin. Jollain's imprint appears in the lower right corner - at the "rue St Jacques a la Ville de Cologne" in Paris. Restoration to areas of marginal tears with some paper reinstatement just touching printed area but no appreciable loss of detail. Nevertheless, this is a very acceptable and attractive example of a rare, separately published panorama, produced within a few years of the Great Fire, which was to change the skyline of London dramatically.
