This print showcases the intricate details of a historical map titled "Map of East London, plates 20-21, from Cary's Actual Survey of Middlesex". Created in 1786 by John Cary, a renowned cartographer, this hand-colored engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The map measures 15.2x21.1 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. With its rich hues and meticulous craftsmanship, this Georgian-era map transports viewers to an era long gone. From Blackfriars to Westminster, Limehouse to Isle of Dogs, every street and road is meticulously depicted with precision. The aerial view provides a unique perspective on iconic landmarks such as Southwark Bridge and Hackney Marshes. As one explores this visual treasure trove further, lesser-known areas like Bethnal Green, Newington, Lambeth, Camberwell also come into focus. The inclusion of Rotherhithe and Stratford adds depth to our understanding of East London's history.
