"Panorama of London and the Thames, part three showing Southwark, London Bridge and the churches in the City, c.1600" is a historical artwork by Nicolaes (Claes) Jansz Visscher, a renowned Dutch engraver, cartographer, and publisher. This panoramic view is part of a series that meticulously depicts the cityscape of London around the year 1600, a period when the city was rapidly growing and establishing itself as a center of commerce and culture in Europe.

The third part of this panoramic series offers a detailed representation of Southwark, an area that was, at the time, outside the jurisdiction of the City of London and known for its less regulated activities, including theaters and bear-baiting rings. The illustration also prominently features London Bridge, which was the only crossing over the River Thames until the construction of Westminster Bridge in 1750. The bridge is depicted with buildings upon it, a common practice until the bridge was rebuilt in the 19th century.

In addition to Southwark and London Bridge, Visscher's work provides a unique view of the numerous churches that dotted the City of London's skyline, including the old St. Paul's Cathedral before its destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The churches are rendered with remarkable attention to detail, reflecting the importance of religion and the prominence of church architecture in the city's topography.

Nicolaes Visscher's engraving is not only an artistic achievement but also an invaluable historical document. It offers insight into the urban landscape of London before the significant changes of the 17th century, capturing the architecture, daily life, and the bustling activity along the Thames. The panorama is a testament to Visscher's skill in cartography and engraving, showcasing his ability to combine aesthetic appeal with accurate geographical representation.

This piece is part of the larger tradition of city panoramas that were popular during the 16th and 17th centuries, serving as both works of art and as informative tools for understanding the layout and character of urban environments.
