St. Pauls Cathedral is depicted without the spire, which was destroyed by lightning in 1561. On the South Bank there are Shakespeare’s first Globe Theatre and Bull-Baiting Ring. The city of London shown with walls and gates, reaching north up to St. Giles and Cripplegate, with the Tower of London on the right.

John Wallis (died 1818) was an English book, map, board game and music seller, and cartographer. Wallis has opened the Map Warehouse in 1775, and the Instructive Toy Warehouse in 1805. Together with his sons John Wallis Jr. and Edward Wallis, he became one of the most prolific publishers of board games in the late 18 and early 19th centuries.
