A very scarce map of England and Wales with town prospects

STENT, Peter.

A New Map of the Kingdome of England and the Principality of Wales taken out of J.S. Printed and Sould by John Overton at the White Horse without Newgate.
London: John Overton, c.1673. Contemporary colour. 400 x 510mm.

Repairs at centre fold.

A scarce separate-issue map of England and Wales, first issued by Stent in 1662 but this example was printed about a decade later. Stent acknowledges his source for the map as John Speed ('J.S.'), but has replaced Speed's costume panels with 29 city prospects, all English, including pre-fire London. The style of the engraved script suggests the map was etched by Wenceslas Hollar.

SHIRLEY: Stent 1, state 6 of 6.
