A good example of this scarce town plan of Colchester - based on the inset in John Speed's map of Essex. The map was one of 31 town plans published in Rutger Hermannides' "Britannia Magna" in 1661 with Latin text. The book was later re-issued with Dutch text (and a Dutch title). Charming and miniature.
