@caitlinrgreen These are remarkable! If you look closely you can see the capstan used to winch the protective chain up to allow passage.
@GeorgeRick1 Yes! I agree----remarkable both in themselves and given the date drawn! :)
Extraordinary. Whoever drew this was clearly a brilliant artist forced to make a living as a mapmaker...
It really is an extraordinary piece of work, so much lively detail. If only every town had as detailed a record!
Cartographers were generally very sloppy when it came to buildings, especially John Speed...
Oh I live this!
Love this* ha!
This is amazing
