Description: |
Drawing commissioned by the Sunday times Colour Magazine to celebrate the 350th anniversary of Sir Christopher Wren's birth. It attempts to illustrate how the City of London might have looked had Wren's plan for the rebuilding after the Great Fire of 1666 been adopted. The drawing moves buildings that were built to their nearest location on his plan.
