介绍（中）	两幅版画，用两个盘子印刷在四张纸上，展示了从泰晤士河南岸看到的威斯敏斯特和伦敦城市的前景。在这种双重城市观中，基普描绘了伦敦和威斯敏斯特处于城市发展的关键时刻，当时这个国家的首都开始呈现出今天所熟知的宏伟和国际化的理想。克里斯托弗·雷恩爵士（Sir Christopher Wren）的圣保罗大教堂（St.Paul’s Cathedral）的圆顶在十年前刚刚完工，它自豪地俯瞰着城市的天际线，前景中繁忙的河流说明了贸易对城市发展的重要性。这两条天际线中最重要的建筑已经在下面印刷的图例中进行了编号和识别 Kip和他的伙伴LeonardKnyff可以说是那个时代最重要的地形版画家。这些标题也被翻译成法语和拉丁语，这反映了英国印刷市场的雄心，英国印刷市场不再只是追随和收集欧洲大陆的作品，而是在其中发挥了积极作用，旨在以同等质量的水平进行竞争。
介绍（英）	Two engravings, printed from two plates on four sheets, show a prospect of the cities of Westminster and London seen from the south bank of the river Thames. In this dual city view, Kip depicts London and Westminster at a key moment of urban development, when the nation’s capital started to assume the grandeur and cosmopolitan ideals for which it is known today. The dome of Sir Christopher Wren’s St. Paul’s Cathedral, finished just ten years earlier, proudly dominates the skyline of the city, and the busy river in the foreground illustrates the importance of trade to the cities’ development. The most important buildings in the two skylines have been numbered and identified in legends printed below. Kip and his partner Leonard Knyff were arguably the most important topographical printmakers of the era. The fact that the titles were translated into French and Latin as well, reflects the ambitions of the British print market, which no longer just followed and collected what was produced on the Continent, but played an active part in it, and aimed to compete at a level of equal quality.
