This copy comes from the 1653 edition of Norden's Speculum Britainiæ (Mirror of Britain), re-issued after his death. There is only one bridge across the Thames, but parts of Southwark on the south bank of the river have been developed. The coats of arms around the edge belong to the twelve largest city guilds. These arms collectively were known as the "Great Liveries". Top right is the Merchant Tailors' arms.
