The interface below maps the plates from Select Views of London; with Historical and Descriptive Sketches of Some of the Most Interesting of its Public Buildings, compiled and arranged by John B. Papworth and published in 1816 by Rudolph Ackermann (who also published The Microcosm of London). As these plates postdate considerably the original version of Horwood’s Plan, the base map here is William Faden’s fourth edition of 1819. The source copy for the images is British Library General Reference Collection 192.b.19.
