Description
A decorative map of Kent, with inset plans of Canterbury (with a 74-point key) and Rochester, and seven armorials and a Royal Crest above the map. English Text on verso giving details about the history of the county and its divisions into hundreds and parishes.
It was published in John Speed's county atlas, the 'Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain', which was first published in 1612.
The first folio county atlas was Christopher Saxton's in 1579: however this had a map of south-east England rather than an individual map of Kent.
