Rare Old Map of London in 1690 by Joannes de Ram Finish:Framed map In the top left isThis is a rare, ancient map of London that was created by Joannes de Ram of Amsterdam in 1690. Back in the 1600s maps often had Latin names. This one was originally published as Londini Angli regni metropolis novissima & accuratissima roughly translated as the 'new and accurate map of London, capital of the realm'. This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45. 5x61cm), and 24x30 inches (61x76cm), but it looks even better
