171312789London: Henry Overton Bassett & Chiswell 1713. 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.

16651789London: to be sould by Roger Rea the Elder and younger at the Golden Cross in Cornhill against the Exchange 1665. 410 by 550mm. 16.25 by 21.75 inches. Double-page engraved map fine contemporary outline hand colour upper left and right margins skilfully repaired margins reinforced with japan paper. The map bears the imprint of Roger Rea the Elder and Younger. The Reas had purchased the rights to Speed's work form William Garrett in 1659 who had previously purchased them from the widow of William Humble in the same year. Skelton suggests that the father and son intended a new edition of the atlas for the Restoration of 1660. However the atlas would appear not to have been published until 1665. This is borne out by an advertisement in the Term Catalogue by the subsequent owners of the plates Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell in 1675: "Mr John Speed's. Geography of the Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland. together with his Prospect. all in one entire Volume hath been for seven Years past out of Print the greatest part of an Impression then newly Printed being destroyed by the late dreadful Fire 1666". This is borne out by the rarity of the Rea edition of the atlas. There is evidence that they planned an edition of 1666 as there are impressions of Sussex Buckingham and Derby with Rea's imprint which bear that date. Rea would later sell the plates to Bassett and Chiswell who would publish a new edition in 1676. to be sould by Roger Rea the Elder and younger at the Golden Cross in Cornhill against the Exchange, unknown
