About the Item

Bird's eye view of the old buildings in West Cheap (Cheapside) as they appeared in 1585, from Londina Illustrata. London: Robert Wilkinson, 1814 Engraving on buff wove paper, 11 7/8 x 16 1/4 inches (300 x 411 mm), full margins. Central fold (as issued) with paper tape supports on the verso, along with some minor discoloration in the margins. Generally in good condition with issues being consistent with age. St. Michael-le-Querne, also called St. Michael ad Bladum, was a parish church in the Farringdon Within Ward in the City of London. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666 and not rebuilt. The name is apparently a reference to a quern-stone as there was a corn market in the churchyard.
