About this Item
Hand-coloured copper-engraving, 15 x 20 inches. Mounted in conservation materials double-sided to show the text in Latin on verso. Framed and double glazed in a suitable moulding. A fine, strong impression, from the second issue which had no publisher's imprint, the centre fold retains the original guard and there are no repairs or restorations. The colouring, which has some age but is not original, is particularly attractive. A fine example of the second edition identifiable by the Latin text on verso. John Speed's justly renowned map of the county from the second edition of his great early 17th century atlas of the British Isles. His survey was based on the earlier work of Philip Symonson with the addition of his own embellishments, and separate plans of Canterbury and Rochester. The beauty of the 17th century engraving is particularly evident in such a strong impression. One of the most attractive and decorative maps of Kent, from the early Latin issue. KENT MAPS KENT.
