Some of the etched work is by Wenceslaus Hollar. "Plates I, II, IV, and V are engraved and not by Hollar. Plate III is partly etched but it is doubtful if it is Hollar's work. Plates VI-XX are partly engraved, partly etched, and the etched work seems certainly to be Hollar."--Pennington. "The map is not signed by Hollar, and he was certainly not responsible for the whole work. But parts of the plan are probably his, e.g. the river, its boats and the Tower (with the lettering in Hollar's characteristic style), the trees in Temple Gardens, and possibly Grays Inn (but scarcely those of Moorfields and Charterhouse)."--Hyde (Large and accurate map of the city of London [facsimile], 1976).
