Although based on John Speed's information published 30 years earlier, this is a finer engraving with coats of arms and rural vignettes.The reverse of the map has the rare Latin Text measures 53.3x 45.5mm, with early hand colouring.Original antique Map is in good condition with central fold as issued and mild age toning. The outer margins have been trimmed but the text on verso is intact.
