Mapography of Early Modern London

Preface

Purpose

This bibliography of maps (our Mapography) aims to help MoEML contributors and team members find information about London locations on the many maps of London now available in print and digital surrogates. Maps are generally excluded from traditional bibliographies or hard to find therein. Cartographic materials present cataloguing challenges that are variously resolved by different institutions (see Yale’s Cartographic Cataloging, for example), which in turn presents challenges to researchers searching for maps across many library catalogues. The single richest digital resource for the study of early modern London is the Crace Collection at the British Library. Containing approximately 1200 maps (from ground plans to long views, and spanning the period 1570 to 1860), this online exhibition lacks an advanced search interface. Our objectives, therefore, have been: to find the most useful maps both in Crace and in other resources (print and digital), and to organize our own list in a way meaningful to researchers writing about places in London and researching the toponyms, locations, physical structures, and historical significance of those places.

Early Modern Urban Maps

The first accurate map of London is the Ogilby and Morgan <ref target="#OGIL7" type="bibl">Large Map</ref> (1676), drawn after the Great Fire. Earlier maps were not accurate plans of the city, but rather noisily rhetorical art (Edwards para. 4 that served a variety of purposes.

Early maps survive in three forms: Sheet maps like the Agas map (<ref target="#AGAS3" type="bibl">Civitas Londinum</ref>), large maps printed on two or more sheets of paper. These are rare, fragile, and often incomplete. Atlases (books of maps) like George Braun and Frans Hogenberg’s Civitates Orbis Terrarum (6 vols; Cologne, 1572-1617), which gives us the famous Braun and Hogenberg Map of London. These books have been ransacked for wall decoration and are rarely pristine. Maps as illustrations in books. These rarely survive in situ, having been cut out of the books and sold separately by unscrupulous book dealers.

Before Ogilby and Morgan’s <ref type="bibl" target="#OGIL7">Large Map</ref>, maps took one or more of the following perspectives: Stereographic view offering a prospect or profile, often a prospect of the city as a traveller would see it from the road; Perspective or bird’s eye view offering a view of the city as a bird might have seen it or a person from the top of a nearby hill or vantage point (see Stevenson); Linear ground-plan or plat; and/or Map view, a hybrid genre offering a ground plan and one or more insets offering a bird’s eye or stereographic view. <ref target="#AGAS3" type="bibl">Civitas Londinum</ref> offers a hybrid of these perspectives. The foreground offers a bird’s eye view of Southwark. The central part of the map is a plat of the City and areas just outside the wall. The background offers a stereographic landscape view with a vanishing point north of the city.

Maps also include people, architectural detail, cartouches, coats of arms, labels, poems, and other texts. In general, it is worth asking what an early modern map depicts. Maps that contain buildings show us the urbs or built environment. Maps that contain people in their traditional habit or carrying out their regular activities show us the civitas. Maps that emphasize fortifications, walls, gates, armed ships, soldiers, civic coats of arms, or governors show us the res publica or well governed city. (See Kagan for an elaboration of these terms.) <ref target="#AGAS3" type="bibl">Civitas Londinum</ref> depicts the urbs in its central plat-like map; the communitas is in evidence only on the river and in the surrounding recreational and agricultural areas. Being attentive to what a map depicts will alert you to its rhetorical and political purposes, which in turn will help you situate the evidence offered by the map.

Scope of Contents

The MoEML Mapography follows these selection principles:

We include selected manuscript and print maps available in the Crace Collection when they show a part of London addressed in MoEML’s geographic scope and when we think they will help MoEML contributors to: establish precise and accurate geocoordinates and Agas locations, and/or capture toponyms, and/or see the location in context.

Note that the maps in the Crace Collection are often a second or subsequent printing of a map. Our metadata includes the date of the London depicted so that users know how to deploy the evidence of the map in the service of a historical argument. Users may assume that maps do not change in subsequent printings unless we have made a note describing changes.

We include all the maps listed in Darlington and Howgego’s Printed Maps of London circa 1553–1850 up to 1666, except as follows: We exclude inaccurate maps printed in Europe for the European market. Despite their visual appeal and the fact that they bear witness to the popularity of images of London, they contain inaccuracies that make them inappropriate for use by MoEML place researchers We exclude pictorial images of London inset into small-scale maps of larger areas. These are usually based on earlier, more detailed long views. We include a selection of post-Fire maps because the footprint and streetscape of the City is clearer on the post-Fire maps and because most contributors will want to indicate the impact of the Fire on the place about which they are writing. Depictions of the Fire and the sensational scale of destruction sold well across Europe, with the result that we have many images of dubious authority. We have included only post-Fire maps with some claim to authority and which are not obviously copies of copies. We include selected eighteenth-century maps that have been particularly helpful to the MoEML Team in making a connection between modern georeferenced surfaces and early map-like surfaces. One such map is the 1746 Rocque Map (conveniently digitized and georeferenced by the Layers of London project). We include one important eighteenth-century map that is the earliest surviving witness to a now-lost much earlier map, namely George Vertue’s 1737 map, which is the only witness to the lost 1561 version of <ref target="#AGAS3" type="bibl">Civitas Londinum</ref>. The Agas map survives otherwise only in three copies of the 1633 printing. We include all of the Blome ward maps (first printed in 1720 but drawn some years earlier) because they are the earliest ward maps we have. Finally, we include selected scholarly reconstructions, most notably <ref target="#HIST2" type="bibl">The Map of Tudor London</ref>, a carefully researched footprint of 1520s London by Historic Towns Trust.

Data Model

The MoEML Mapography (MAPS1) functions coordinately with the MoEML Bibliography. The Bibliography (BIBL1) contains full bibliographic details for each map, listed by cartographer. These BIBL1 entries, each of which has a unique xml:id (e.g., NEEL1), describe the cartographic work rather than particular copies, variant states, or issues. Each entry in MAPS1 has an xml:id beginning with MAPS1_ and concluding with the xml:id from BIBL1 (e.g., MAPS1_NEEL1). The BIBL1 entry has a link to the MAPS1 entry and vice versa. Additionally, whenever the data in MAPS1 mentions a print surrogate (e.g., John Schofield’s edition of Treswell’s manuscript surveys), we include a link to the particular BIBL1 entry for that source.

For each map, we capture ten data points:

Title: We give a short, recognizable title for the map. Clicking on the title will produce a pop-up window containing the entry for the map in BIBL1. Darlington and Howgego Number: If the map is not in listed, the field will read n/a. Cartographer[s]: If the cartographer is not known, the field will read Anonymous. Engraver[s]: If the engraver is not known to us, we leave the field empty. Further information is welcome. Date Depicted. Date Drawn. Location[s] Depicted: Terms are general (e.g., London, Westminster, Southwark). Digital Surrogate[s]: We give links to digital surrogates (facsimiles) hosted by institutions and in a few cases antique map dealers. Print Surrogate[s]: We list reproductions of the map, including those in books. Note: We include comments on the conventional name by which the map is known and any other information likely to help our contributors make effective use of the map.

Credits

The Mapography began life as two independent handlists of maps, one prepared by Kim McLean-Fiander and one prepared by Janelle Jenstad, the latter augmented by a finding aid kindly provided by Erin Blake at the Folger Shakespeare Library. In 2014-2015, JCURA student Brianna Wright worked with UVic Maps Librarian Daniel Brendle-Moczuk to develop the first iteration of our metadata model and track down digital surrogates. Since then, numerous members of the MoEML team have added to MAPS1, principally Tye Landels, Joey Takeda, Chris Horne, Jamie Zabel, and Molly Rothwell. We would like to thank the British Library for allowing us to include the Blome ward maps from the Crace Collection in our ward pages, thus making MoEML one place to view digital surrogates of these maps.

Additions

Libraries are making available new digital surrogates of their cartographic material at a rapid rate in the 2020s. The MoEML team welcomes suggestions for additions of new links. Please write to the Project Manager.

Vertue was commissioned by the Society of Antiquaries to engrave the Agas map. Vertue seems to have had access to a now-lost copy of the 1561 map. The three surviving copies of the Agas map are from the 1633 printing, which has been altered to include the Royal Exchange and the Stuart Coat of Arms. Thus, Vertue’s engraving is the only extant witness to the earlier version of the Agas map.

Index of Ward Maps

By default, the maps in this table are ordered in the same way that the wards are organized in Stow’s Survey of London. Some of these maps contain two wards that are located in two different places in Stow’s 1633 Survey. In these instances, whichever ward on a map that depicts two wards appears first in Stow has been placed in it’s correct position in correspondence with the Survey. To list maps alphabetically by ward, click on the Location[s] Depicted column.
