A rare prospect of pre-Fire London

A very fine prospect of London before the Great Fire of 1666, showing from Whitehall in the west to The Tower of London in the east, with the Norman St Paul's Cathedral in the centre. South of the river are Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and the Bear-Baiting ring, with men admiring the view with their hunting dogs from an invented high vantage point. This example comes from the first issue of the first issue of De Wit's Townbook of Europe, the 'Theatrum Praecipuarum Totius Europae Urbium tam ichnographicé quam conspicué Delineatarum'.
