Notes (Hamnet):
Bird's-eye view of the area from St. Martin's Lane on west to Chancery Lane (northern part) on east, and from the river north to Holborn. The area corresponds roughly to the modern WC2 district. Pike-men are drilling in Lincoln's Inn Fields. The Piazza in Covent Garden has a fence all round and a tree in the middle. At Arundel House in the Strand the long gallery that Arundel built for his collections can be seen descending towards the river, and some of the mansions along the Thames can be identified from 'Savoy staires' on left to 'Essex staires' on right. There is a thin border line round the view.--Adapted from Pennington.
