167634894London: Thomas Basset & Richard Chiswell 1676. Copper-engraved map. Image area: 15 1/4 x 20 inches. Very good. Matted. The first state of Speed's early map of Virginia.<br/> <br/>As noted by Burden this was the first map to incorporate information from Augustine Hermann's Virginia and Maryland As it is Planted and Inhabited this present Year 1670 a landmark map of the region. While the general outlines of the map are taken from John Smith's map of 1612 much of the toponomy derives from Hermann as well as the representation of Delaware Bay which did not appear on Smith's map and a more accurate depiction of the northeastern shore of Chesapeake Bay.

Copper-engraved map with full modern colour very large marings in very good condition except for a stain at the bottom edge well away from the image. A highly decorative map of Denbighshire by one of the greatest English cartographers<br/> <br/>Denbighshire in Wales clearly a mountainous region was surveyed by Christopher Saxton which was Speed's source for this map. William Smith Pursuivant at the College of Arms was the apparent source for the coats of arms: one of which is that of Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester Queen Elizabeth's favorite. In the town plan of Denbigh in the upper right corner is a circular inset displaying what appears to be a castle. It is actually an unfinished and indeed never finished church that Leicester had tried to have built in Denbigh. Apparently his unpopularity was part of the reason the church was never completed. The map is decorated with a sea monster a classical god on horseback and a ship. Henry Overton's edition of this map includes the few roads that snaked their way through the county.<br/> <br/>cf.
