Anglia
|
This miniature map of England and Wales was published in 1616 in "Petri Bertij Tabularum Geographicarum Contractarum Libri Septem ..." and is geographically based on Speed's map, although the side borders of costumed figures have obviously been removed for this reduced-size version. This particular example of the map, with Latin text to the verso, has been augmented with attractive colour. The name of the engraver, 'S.Rogiers', appears above the mileage scale at lower right and an additional title, also in Latin, appears above the map itself. This map was later re-issued in other publications - an indication of its popularity.
