May 18, 2021 (the exact shooting time is unknown), the earliest known map of London, England, was sold by the family of a former mayor of London for 6,500 pounds (about 59,000 yuan).

The planning of this charming British capital city dates back to the times of Queen Elizabeth I and William Shakespeare.

This hand-colored map shows the city in the 1670s, when its population was about 200,000.
