Map, hand coloured engraving, Westmorlandia, Lancastria,
Cestria ... ie Westmorland, Lancashire, Cheshire ..., which
is England plate 3, scale about 21.5 miles to 1 inch,
probably engraved by Peter Keer, published by John
Cloppenburg, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 1630, edition 1632.
The text on the reverse, p.76, is in Latin, the map on page 75, which identies it as coming from Gerardi Mercatoris Atlas, 1632. The map is a new engraving, probably by Pieter van den Keere, from the small map by Jodocus Hondius 1607, derived from Mercator's larger map 1595, for a new edition of Gerard Mercator's Atlas Minor. |
