London, John Sudbury and George Humble, 1626-. 385 x 510
Coloured; some small tears to lower and side margins (repaired), small hole at centrefold (repaired), otherwise a fine example.
Engraved by Jodocus Hondius in Amsterdam in 1610, this is one of the most famous and decorative of all English county maps. Because of Cornwall's long and thin dimensions, Hondius had a great deal of sea area to use, which he filled with an inset view of Launceston, a large title cartouche with the Royal Arms, four local antiquities, eight coats of arms and several galleons and sea-monsters. Speed used the work of John Norden rather than Saxton's for his source for this map. Norden (1548-c.1625), also planned a complete county atlas, but he never acquired the patronage essential for such a long-term enterprise. His finances failed after surveying only eight counties, but his work was innovative (popularising the use in England of a grid system with marginal letters and numbers) and with such good quality eying that Speed preferred to use Norden's maps rather that Saxton's as source material.

Glocestershire.

London, John Sudbury & George Humble, 1610-16, Latin text edition. 380 x 510.
Fine original colour; some oxidisation of the original colour, particularly the green, this has caused some discolouration and minor cracking in some areas, this has been expertly repaired. Some small holes and cracks visible when held up to the light, short centrefold split (repaired), other minor discolouration and soiling, otherwise a good example.
From Speed's atlas 'The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine', the Latin edition is arguably the rarest of all editions, being produced for the overseas market. Thomas Chubb states in his book, "The Latin edition of Speed's atlas of great Britain and Ireland is extremely rare, it was not until 1918 that the British Museum obtained a copy." It is even more difficult to find examples in original colour.
