Item description from seller

The earliest printed map dedicated solely to the West Riding. Early seventeenth century. Engraving with contemporary hand-colouring on laid paper. Sheet size: 34.5 cm x 28.4 cm. A finely engraved and highly decorative early map of the West Riding of Yorkshire derived from the groundbreaking county surveys of Christopher Saxton, widely regarded as the father of English cartography. The map was engraved by the Scottish engraver William Hole and forms part of the important early seventeenth-century tradition of reinterpreting Saxton's foundational surveys for a new generation of British atlases and geographical publications. Edition not evident. Blank verso. Impression shows signs of wear to the plate but does not have the added '48' plate number to the left hand corner. Date: c.1610-1637. A strong impression with contemporary or near-contemporary hand-colouring. Historic central fold as issued. General age toning, light surface wear, and minor handling marks consistent with age. The engraving remains sharp and well defined, with clear, legible place names and attractive colour. A well-preserved example of an important early Yorkshire county map.
