View and Map of London 1741

18th century
For Sale by Walpoles
Description

A good looking map of London and the surrounding counties published by Homann in 1741; based very largely on a similar map of the region by Thomas Bowles. London is at the centre of the sheet, coloured red, a band along the base shows a bird’s eye view of the Thames busy with a mass of barges and boats; larger shipping kept to the east by London Bridge.

The Homann map publishing house was established by Johann Baptist Homann at the end of the 17th century, passing to his son, Johann Christoph following his death in 1724. J.C in turn left the publishing house to his two principal managers, Johann Georg Ebersberger and Johann Michael Franz in 1730. Maps produced under their management are identified with the name Homann Heirs (or the suchlike), and in the present case; ‘Homanianis Heredibus 1741’.

With original colour and now within a replica eighteenth century print frame, ebonized and with a gilt sight.

o.s:25.75 in x 23.25 in

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Georgian cartography from the eighteenth century is characterised by detailed copperplate engravings, hand-tinted territorial boundaries, and elaborate topographical features including panoramic city views and nautical routes.

Eighteenth-century maps were typically etched or engraved into copper plates, printed onto handmade rag paper using a rolling press, and subsequently hand-coloured using watercolor washes.

Authentic period maps display a distinct plate mark impression around the border, chain lines and watermarks in the handmade paper, light oxidisation of age, and signs of original hand-colouring.

An antique map can be styled as a focal wall piece above a sideboard, desk, or mantelpiece, framed in a simple dark timber or gilt frame to bridge classic and contemporary aesthetic schemes.

Preserve antique paper works by framing them behind UV-filtering glass with acid-free mounting materials, keeping them away from direct sunlight, and maintaining a stable humidity level.
