笔记

Fine example of Blaeu’s atlas of England and Wales.

Blaeu’s English Atlas was first published in 1645 as the fourth volume of his ‘Atlas Novus’. The work contained 58 maps of English and Welsh counties, which had been derived in main from John Speed’s ‘Theatre’, first published in 1611, with the text based upon Camden’s ‘Britannia’, of 1607.
