BLAEU, Johannes.

Monumethensis Comitatus, Vernacule Monmouth Shire.
Amsterdam, 1662, Latin edition. Fine original colour with gold highlights. 385 x 500mm, with very wide margins.

A very fine example of Blaeu's map of Monmouthshire, with large cartouches for the title and scale, the Royal Arms, and the Prince of Wales's arms and feathers. Published in the 'Atlas Major', the colour of this example is particularly well-executed.
