A fine map of the county, with inset plan of Derby and a view of Buxton, showing what could be Peveril Castle and Saint Anne's Well, with some artistic licence.

BRAUN, Georg & HOGENBERG, Franz.

Origin: Cologne, 1618, Latin text edition.

Three town plans of York, Shrewsbury and Lancaster (all with a key to places) and a view of Richmond Palace in Surrey. Published in Volume VI (the last) of Braun and Hogenberg's 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum', the first collection of town plans. All are copied from Speed's county maps of 1611. Down the sides are eight costume vignettes, on the left the pre-Norman figures from Speed's titlepage, on the right contemporary dress. Richmond Palace was built after 1501 by King Henry VII. it became a favourite home of Elizabeth I who died there in 1603. Only the Gate House survives today, the main building was demolished after the execution of Charles I in 1649. This engraving only appears in the last editions of 1617 and 1618, hence uncommon and hard to find.

Condition: Coloured; two short expertly repaired tears to the edges of the margins and some very minor soiling, overall a very good example.

Size: 310 x 425mm (12¼ x 16¾ inches).

Reference: 15759
