Description

A scarce separate-issue map of England and Wales, first issued by Stent in 1662 but this example was printed about a decade later. Stent acknowledges his source for the map as John Speed ('J.S.'), but has replaced Speed's costume panels with 29 city prospects, all English, including pre-fire London. The style of the engraved script suggests the map was etched by Wenceslas Hollar.

Condition:

Repairs at centre fold.
