EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautifully detailed coloured engraving, Sheet 16 from John Rocque's "An exact survey of the cities of London and Westminster, the Borough of Southwark, with the country near ten miles round..." provides a fascinating glimpse into 18th century London. Measuring 51x67 cm, this map is part of a larger sixteen sheet series that showcases Rocque's meticulous cartographic skills.
John Rocque, a French Huguenot immigrant to England, was not only an estate surveyor and garden designer but also a talented mapmaker. His attention to detail is evident in this map, which includes bar scales in various units such as miles, furlongs, perches, feet, chains and yards.
Sheet 16 features locations such as Hampton Court, Kingston and Norbiton within its boundaries. The intricate design and historical significance make this print a valuable piece for anyone interested in the history of London.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London; this print captures the essence of Rocque's work and his contribution to mapping towns during his time. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and architectural landscape that once existed in one of the world's most iconic cities.
