Platte grondt der Verbrande stadt London
This Dutch document, printed in Amsterdam in 1666, contains a description of the Great Fire of London and a map showing the burnt area. It also has an engraving of London aflame and a plan of how the city might be rebuilt (possibly Robert Hooke's design).
Underneath the engravings are three accounts of the fire, in Dutch, French and English. This shows how much international interest there was in the Great Fire.
