An example of William Web's rare re-issue of the Saxton map of Wiltshire, the first printed map of the county, engraved in 1577. Web has made only two significant changes: the date has been updated, and the Royal Crest is that of Charles I rather than Elizabeth I (with a unicorn instead of a Welsh Dragon), although the engraver has left behind the Queen's initials, 'E R'.
