[Dankerts, Cornelius. (Attributed to Augustine Ryther)]. The Cittie of LONDON [Amsterdam: ca. 1633]. Note: This map seems to be a derivative of the 1633 Dankerts map for the following reasons: the title is in the cartouche at the top center with Royal arms to the left and City arms to the right; the imprint that listed on the 1633 edition as well as the Globe playhouse have been omitted; a large compass sits in the bottom left corner. It most closely resembles the c. 1645 edition of the map, without the reference numbers, and the additional title “The Countrey-mans, or Strangers ready helpe…”.
