City map image made from the Copperplate Map 1559 Frame:natural Advertising signs and criss-crossing telephoneAn image of how a print would look if printed from the City section of The Copperplate Map which dates from the 1550s and is the first known map of London. Made in fifteen copper sections, or plates, only three are still in existence. Two plates which depict the areas around Moorfields and the City are in the Museum of London and a third plate, held by the Dessau Art Gallery, shows the area around St Paul's Cathedral.
