- Curator's comments
- Only the inset maps and views and the title cartouche are by Hollar. The alternation from the first state was not made by Hollar himself. The inserted maps and views of London and other cities were sometimes cut out as a single print. Though a copy by a follower, 1880,1113.1160 is such an example (NH 999.A.) For the London map and view see James Howgego, 'Printed Maps of London c.1553-1850' 2nd ed. No. 14.

- Acquisition notes
- this was initially stamped as from Sloane, but, as a long inscription on the verso explains, it has the initials of John Barnard (now hidden as the print is partly laid down) whose sale took place in 1798, and so must come from Cracherode
