The "Woodcut" map of London, formally titled Civitas Londinum, and often referred to as the "Agas" map of London, is one of the earliest true maps (as opposed to panoramic views, such as those of Anton van den Wyngaerde) of the City of London and its environs. The original map probably dated from the early 1560s, but it survives only in later and slightly modified copies. It was printed from woodcut blocks on eight sheets, and in its present state measures approximately 2 feet 4 inches (71 cm) high by 6 feet (180 cm) wide. There has been some damage to the blocks, and it was probably originally fractionally larger.

has abstract	La "Woodcut" map of London, un tempo chiamata Civitas Londinum, e spesso indicata come "Agas" map of London, è una delle prime mappe di Londra (in opposizione a vedute panoramiche, come quelle di Anton van den Wyngaerde) della City of London e dei suoi dintorni. La mappa originale era probabilmente datata ai primi anni 1560, ma sopravvive solo in copie più tarde e leggermente modificate. Venne stampata in xilografia su fogli, da otto matrici di legno, e nelle copie pervenute misura 65 cm. in altezza e 120 in larghezza. Probabilmente, in origine, era più grande. La mappa tratta da stampo in legno inciso (woodcut) è in scala più piccola e leggermente modificata rispetto alla cosiddetta "Copperplate", realizzata tra il 1553 e il 1559, che, tuttavia, sopravvive solo in parte. Ha anche una stretta relazione con la mappa di Londra inclusa nel Civitates Orbis Terrarum di Georg Braun e Frans Hogenberg, pubblicata a Colonia e Amsterdam nel 1572, anche se questa è su scala molto ridotta. La Woodcut map viene tradizionalmente attribuita al cartografo Ralph Agas, ma la questione è molto dibattuta.

There has been some damage to the blocks, and it was probably originally fractionally larger. The Woodcut map is a slightly smaller-scale, cruder and lightly modified copy of the so-called "Copperplate" map, surveyed between 1553 and 1559, which, however, survives only in part. It also bears a close relationship to the map of London included in Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum, published in Cologne and Amsterdam in 1572, although this is on a greatly reduced scale. The Woodcut map was traditionally attributed to the surveyor and cartographer Ralph Agas, but this attribution is now considered to be erroneous. (en)
