EDER, Johann
Prospect der Stadt London in England
Imprint: Vienna, c.1700
Inscription: Signed, Inscribed Or Annotated
170 x 255 mm., in good condition.
An uncommon prospect of London from south of the River Thames. It is signed by J. Eder as engraver. Tooley's Dictionary records a Johann Eder as having produced a prospect of Warsaw dated 1700. A slightly more fanciful image than most displaying an unusual dome of St. Pauls and an embankment running the full extent of the north shore. The Tower of London is seen on the right with London Bridge in the foreground. Prominent in the background is the Monument opened in 1677 to commemorate the Great Fire of London in 1666. The image was drawn by A. Sommer. Tooley's Dictionary.
