They were based on Christopher Saxton Ortelius and Giovanni Battista Boazio respectively for England and Wales Scotland and Ireland. They appeared in 1617 in a Latin edition of the Britannia of William Camden by Willem Blaeu. Later these plates came to William Humble or George Humble according to Royal Geographical Society fellow Carl Moreland and David Bannister—map dealer—in "Antique Maps" who issued them with some modification and expansion in 1627 as a miniature version of the atlas of John Speed. Thereby van den Keere's works came by the name "Miniature Speeds".<br> Size : 85x123 mm 3.35x4.84 Inches Coloring: Original Hand Coloring Category: Maps Europe Ireland; Petrus Kaerius caelavit [George Humble] unknown

This map is from the 1676 edition of the 'Prospect' published by Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell. While not as rare as the earlier publications this edition is perhaps the most important given that it is the first to include the nine new maps: among them Virginia and Maryland Barbados and Russia. It is also the last time that the 'Prospect' was printed as an atlas. Shirley Atlases T.SPE-2f.</p> are to be sold by Tho: Bassett in Fleet Street and Ric: Chiswell in St. Pauls Churchyard,

John Speed 1551 oder 1552 – 28. Juli 1629 war ein englischer Kartograf Chronologe und Historiker mit Wurzeln in Cheshire. Als Sohn eines Bürgers und Schneiders in London verließ er den Beruf seiner Familie um die Aufgabe anzunehmen die Geschichte Topografie und Karten der Königreiche Großbritanniens zusammenzustellen und zu überarbeiten um die Vereinigung ihrer Monarchien in der Person von König James I. und VI. darzustellen. Er erreichte dies mit bemerkenswertem Erfolg mit der Unterstützung und Hilfe der führenden Altertumsforscher seiner Generation. Er stützte sich auf die Shire-Karten von Christopher Saxton John Norden und anderen und verbesserte sie indem er als Erster die Hundertgrenzen in sie einfügte und er war der Landvermesser und Urheber vieler der darin enthaltenen Stadtpläne. Seine Arbeit trug dazu bei frühneuzeitliche Konzepte der britischen Nationalidentität zu definieren. Seine biblischen Genealogien wurden auch offiziell mit der Erstausgabe der King-James-Bibel in Verbindung gebracht. Er gehört zu den berühmtesten englischen Kartografen.

16767572London: Basset & Chiswell 1676. Copper engraving 38.5 x 51.5 cms recent hand-colour light crease in the lower right hand corner but generally a very good example; English text on verso. Cartographically Speed follows Mercator but his is one of the most distinctive and decorative early maps of Scotland. The portraits in the borders originally represented James VI and I and his family including a young Prince Charles. The royal family was burnished from the copper plate during the Interregnum and replaced with the commoners seen here: a Scotch man and woman and a Highland man and woman notable as early depictions of tartan. John Speed 1552-1629 is unquestionably the most significant British map-maker of the seventeenth-century. A brief note from Granger's Bibliographical History of England 1779 contains most of the information we have about Speed's life: "John Speed who was bred a Tailor was by the generosity of Sir Fulk Grevil his patron set free from a manual employment and enabled to pursue his studies to which he was strongly inclined by the bent of his genius. The fruits of them were his Theatre of Great Britain containing an entire set of maps of the counties drawn by himself his History of Great Britain richly adorned with seals coins & medals from the Cotton collection; and his Genealogies of Scripture first bound up with the Bible in 1611 which was the first edition of the present English translation. His maps were very justly esteemed & his History of Great Britain was in its kind incomparably more complete than all the histories of his predecessors put together ." The first edition of Speed's "Theatre" was published in 1612. It was the first atlas of the British Isles and the first attempt made by an Englishman to match the achievements of the great continental publishing houses - although much of the engraving of the copper plates was performed in Amsterdam by Jodocus Hondius. Speed was an antiquary and intended that his atlas should be read in conjunction with his history of Britain. He managed to include a great deal of historical detail on his 'modern' county maps and the inset town plans some surveyed by himself together comprise the first collection of town plans of the British Isles all in all making the Theatre a highly decorative as well as a useful volume. It was a great success and there were editions printed throughout the seventeenth-century. Map Basset & Chiswell unknown
