Painting Description
The "Plan of the City of London 2" by Richard Horwood is a significant cartographic work that offers an intricate and detailed representation of London during the late 18th century. Richard Horwood, an esteemed British surveyor and cartographer, embarked on the ambitious project of mapping the sprawling metropolis of London with remarkable precision and detail. The second edition of his map, often referred to as "Plan of the City of London 2," builds upon his initial work, providing an even more comprehensive and updated depiction of the city.
Horwood's map is renowned for its meticulous attention to detail, capturing not only the major streets and thoroughfares but also the individual buildings, gardens, and other notable landmarks of the time. This level of detail was unprecedented and provided an invaluable resource for residents, businesses, and urban planners of the period. The map covers a vast area, extending beyond the traditional boundaries of the City of London to include parts of Westminster and Southwark, reflecting the city's rapid expansion and development during the Industrial Revolution.
The creation of the "Plan of the City of London 2" was a monumental task that required extensive fieldwork, surveying, and collaboration with various stakeholders. Horwood's dedication to accuracy and his innovative approach to cartography set new standards in the field and influenced subsequent generations of mapmakers. The map was published in multiple sheets, allowing for a detailed and scalable view of the city, which could be assembled into a large, cohesive representation.
Today, Horwood's map is not only a valuable historical document but also a work of art, admired for its craftsmanship and the insights it provides into the urban landscape of 18th-century London. It remains a crucial reference for historians, geographers, and anyone interested in the rich history and development of one of the world's most iconic cities.
