About the Item

An early hand-colored map of Britain's Hampshire county, published in the 1607 edition of William Camden's great historical description of the British Isles, "Britannia". This map was drawn by cartographer John Norden (c. 1547-1625) and engraved by William Hole (active 1607-1624) and William Kip (c.1585–1618). Although Camden's "Britannia". Was originally published in 1586, the 1607 version was the first to include British county maps, such as this one. This map includes text on the verso in Latin and no plate number, which is unique and only found on the 1607 version, as later versions had a plate number and did not have Latin text. This attractive hand colored map of Hampshire County, England includes a colorful compass rose in the lower right corner above the names of the cartographer, John Norden and one of the engravers, William Hole. A sailing ship and a sea monster are seen in the English Channel. A list of towns is present in the upper left. The towns of Winchester and Southampton are shown on the map, as is part of the Isle of Wight. The map is presented in a gold-colored wood frame with black trim and a cream-colored French mat. It is glazed front and back, allowing a view of the Latin text on the verso. The map is in excellent condition.
