Notes
A Latin version of Pierre Aveline's view of London. Although the title cartouche has been changed, the engraver has not changed the tower of St Paul's Cathedral to its post-Fire state. Although it is intended to represent contemporary, eighteenth century London, it still shows the Elizabethan theatres in Bankside.
Scouloudi records this as a variant of the view published by Antoine Aveline (1691-1743) in the early eighteenth century, but she does not record the copy published by his father, Pierre Aveline. The present example could therefore be a variant on either the father's or the son's.
