English: en:John Stow's map of London in 1755, the creator (and assumed copyrightholder) died in 1605 - which is, I suspect before copyright laws came into being.
Originally engraved for Richard Blome (1635-1705) in the late seventeenth century, the map was first published in 1720, then appeared in John Stow's A Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster (London 1754).
