The "Copperplate" map of London is an early large-scale printed map of the City of London and its immediate environs, surveyed between 1553 and 1559, which survives only in part. It is the earliest true map of London (as opposed to panoramic views, such as those of Anton van den Wyngaerde). The original map was probably designed for hanging on a wall, and is believed to have measured approximately 3 feet 8 inches (112 cm) high by 7 feet 5 inches (226 cm) wide. No copies of the printed map itself are known to have survived; but between 1962 and 1997 three of the original engraved copper printing-plates – from a probable total of 15 – were identified. Although only a fragmentary portion of the map is known, the three plates cover the greater part of the built-up heart of the City of London.

  • La carte de Londres gravée sur cuivre est la première carte imprimée à grande échelle de la Cité de Londres et de ses environs immédiats, dessinée entre 1553 et 1559, dont il ne reste que trois parties. C'est la première carte représentant véritablement Londres (par opposition aux vues panoramiques telles que celles d'Anton van den Wyngaerde). La carte originale a probablement été conçue pour être accrochée au mur et aurait mesuré environ 112 centimètres de haut pour 226 de large. Aucune copie de la carte imprimée elle-même n’a été retrouvée ; mais entre 1962 et 1997, trois des plaques d'impression en cuivre gravées originales - sur un total probable de 15 - ont été identifiées. Bien que seuls quelques fragments de la carte soient connus, les trois plaques couvrent la plus grande partie du (fr)
  • La "Copperplate" map of London è un'antica mappa, su ampia scala, della City di Londra e dei suoi immediati dintorni, tra il 1553 e il 1559, giunta a noi solo in parte. È la prima vera mappa di Londra (al contrario di vedute panoramiche come quelle di Anton van den Wyngaerde). La mappa originale è stata probabilmente progettata per essere appesa ad una parete, e si crede che misurasse circa 110 cm. in altezza e 225 in larghezza. Non ci sono copie della carta pervenute sotto forma di stampa, ma tra il 1962 e il 1997 sono state stampate tre piccole porzioni dell'insieme dalla lastra in rame (mediante il processo di stampa da incisione) che presumibilmente era costituita da 15 matrici. Anche se solo una parte frammentaria della mappa è nota, le tre piastre coprono la maggior parte del cuore a (it)
