Speed’s famous map of Cambridgeshire

One of the most decorative maps of the county of Cambridgeshire, engraved by Jodocus Hondius for John Speed's county atlas, the 'Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain'. Down the sides are the arms of 17 colleges, with seven arms of nobles along the bottom. Around the map is a strapwork title cartouche with the royal arms of James VI & I. a plan of the city with an extensive key, and the figures of four scholars. On the reverse is an English-text letterpress description of the county.
