2 x Bespoke Framed Prints: Agas Map of Tudor London (1580s)

Recommended Posts

There are two of these, both contain different section of the Agas Map (1580s) of Tudor London.


Map 1 is a view of the river, roughly in the region of Temple Bar and Fleet Street (which you can see in the northern most section of the map) down to Bridewell Palace on the river. Some of the land south of the river can be seen too.


Map 2 contains two sections - on the right hand side is an evocative depiction of the area around Westminster Palace, which includes Charing Cross and sections of St James Park (a hunting park). ON the left side, you see the area around St Martin's Lane and St Giles in the Field, which is (I beliefe) pretty much the area of West End theatre land now.


The beautiful depictions of London at a very interesting time and would appeal to any lover of Tudor history or fiction.



They're bespoke frames, so the sizes aren't standard, but the frames are excellent quality.

43cm x 58.5cm


?20 each or ?30 for the pair.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
