Description

A scarce map of England and Wales, as divided between the Saxon kingdoms before the Norman Conquest, issued in William Lambard's 'A Perambulation of Kent. It is a close copy of the map engraved on copper by Lyne for the first edition of 1575, which, in turn, was probably reduced (both in size and content) from a manuscript map by Laurence Nowell of c.1564.

Condition:

Tiny pinhole in map, a little wear to edges.
