John Evelyn's proposed plan for rebuilding London after the Great Fire of 1666, never carried out. This is a two-dimensional reproduction of a two-dimensional work of art that's over 300 years old, therefore it is in the public domain. Available from https://maps.princeton.edu/catalog/princeton-44558g72s which indicates it was published in 1776

Please note that the image is misnamed; it IS John Evelyn's plan, not Christopher Wren's!
