EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing map print, created by Flemish cartographer Pieter Vanden Keere in 1593, offers a glimpse into the historical extent of London as it appeared over four centuries ago. The map's border is adorned with the crests of twelve prominent Merchant Guilds, each representing a significant sector of London's thriving commercial economy during the Elizabethan era. The Mercer's crest, featuring three balls and a rod, symbolizes the trade in textiles and merchandise. The Grocer's crest, represented by a cornucopia, signifies the provision of a wide range of foodstuffs and other essentials. The Draper's crest, with a table and cloth, represents the trade in textiles and clothing. The Fishmongers' crest, featuring a fish, symbolizes their role in the fish trade. The Goldsmith's crest, with a goldsmith's hammer and anvil, represents their craftsmanship in gold and silver. The Skinners' crest, with a fleece, represents their trade in leather and wool. The Merchant Taylors' crest, with a merchant and a tailor, represents their role in the clothing trade. The Haberdasher's crest, with a hat and a pair of shears, represents their trade in textiles, trimmings, and haberdashery. The Salter's creet, with a salt barrel, represents their role in the salt trade. The Ironmonger's crest, featuring an iron rod and a hammer, represents their trade in iron and metalware. The Vintner's crest, with a bunch of grapes, represents their role in the wine trade. Lastly, the Clothworkers' crest, with a loom, represents their role in the textile industry. These twelve crests encircling the map provide a fascinating insight into the diverse and interconnected economic activities that thrived within the bustling city of London during the late 16th century.
