1755 tHE WARDS OF FARINGTON WITH AND BAYNARDS CASTLE WITH ITS DIVISIONS INTO PARISHES TAKEN FROM THE LAST SURVEY WITH CORRECTIONSA fine antique engraved print published for A SURVEY OF THE CITIES OF LONDON AND WESTMINSTER AND THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK edited by John Strype.This map shows the western part of the City of London, bounded to the west by the old London Wall and Fleet River. St Pauls cathedral is prominently depicted. The main thoroughfares marked include Ludgate Hill, Newgate Street, Thames Street, and the western end of Cheapside. The Doctors Commons is marked close to Thames Street.Excellent condition with central fold as issued with later hand colour. Overall size approx. 45.5cm (18in) x 41cm (16andfrac12;in) including margins. The son of Thomas Stow, a tallow-chandler, John Stow was born about 1525 in London, in the parish of St Michael, Cornhill. He was admitted to the Merchant Taylors company in 1547 and had established by that year a business at a house near the well within Aldgate, between Leadenhall and Fenchurch Street. Pretty soon his antiquarian nature took charge. He made the acquaintance of the leading antiquarians of his time, including William Camden, and in 1561 he published his first work, The works of Geffrey Chaucer, newly printed with diverse additions which were never in print before. This was followed in 1565 by his Summarie of Englyshe Chronicles, which was frequently reprinted, with slight variations, during his lifetime.Through the patronage of Archbishop Matthew Parker, Stow was able to print the Flores historiarum of Matthew of Westminster in 1567, the Chronicle of Matthew Paris in 1571, and the Historia brevis of Thomas Walsingham in 1574. At the request of Parker he had compiled a farre larger volume, a history of Britain, but circumstances were unfavourable to its publication and the manuscript was lost.The work for which Stow is best known is his Survey of London, published in 1598, not only interesting for the quaint simplicity of its style and its amusing descriptions and anecdotes, but of unique value for its minute account of the buildings, social condition and customs of London in the time of Elizabeth I. A second edition appeared in his lifetime in 1603, a third with additions by Anthony Munday in 1618, a fourth by Munday and Dyson in 1633, a fifth with interpolated amendments by John Strype in 1720. This engraving is taken from the 6th folio size edition published in 1755/56. Stow died in poverty in 1605 and was buried in the church of St Andrew Undershaft, London, where his monument still remains.
