Item Description
Engraved map in original outline hand colour. 15 x 20 inches. Dutch text on verso.
Notes
This impression comes from the Dutch text appendix published by Jansson in 1644, in which he published eleven English county maps, derived from Speed's maps. However, the plates are in an unfinished state [state I] and were to be extensively re-engraved and augmented before being published in the more commonly seen Novus Atlas in 1646. These rare impressions differ in the decoration of the cartouche, which is without its familiar embellishments. These were to appear on the later issues and differ in several other features. They only appeared in this state once and the impression was probably not large. Rare.
