Civitas Londinum, also known as the “Agas map,” offers a bird’s-eye view of London; it was first printed around 1561, although no copies survive of that initial version.  A later copy, printed in 1633, offers a richly detailed view  of the buildings and of the streets of the city and of its immediate environment.
