Title

The panoramic view of London in Norden's 1600 map depicts all four Bankside theatres as polygonal

Description

The panoramic view of London in Norden's 1600 map depicts all four Bankside theatres as polygonal. As the evidence suggests that at least one of these theatres was round -- and the inset map depicts all four as such -- Shapiro contends that we must question the accuracy of the map's detail (p 29). Shapiro speculates whether Norden indeed supplied the panoramic view himself, or whether this is a more 'conventional' and 'artistic' interpretation of the cityscape provided by the engraver (p 30).
