Maps, Westmorlandiae Comitatus, the County of
Westmorland, scale about 3.5 miles to 1 inch, and
Cumberlandia, Cumberland, scale about 5 miles to 1 inch, by
Christopher Saxton, 1576, engraved by William Kip, London,
1607; published 1607-1637.
Published in 'Britannia, sive florentissimorum Regnorum Angliae, Scotiae, Hiberniae, & Insularum adiacentium ex intima antiquitate Chorographica descriptio: Nunc postremo recognita, plurimus locis magna accessione adaucta, & Chartis Chorographicis illustrata. Gulielmo Camdeno Authore. Londini, Impensis Georgii Bishop & Ioannis Norton, M.D.CVII.' ie 1607. The 1607 geography is the 6th and last Latin edition of Camden's Britannia, the first with county maps although William Camden considered maps as early as 1589. The Westmorland and Cumberland maps are smaller versions of Saxton's maps engraved by Kip; many other counties, but not all, are also Kip versions of Saxton. The maps have Latin text on the reverse; the geography has an illustrated title page, and has a map of England in the Heptarchy; its size is 8 1/4 x 12 1/2 ins. Published in 'Britain, Or A Chorographicall Description of the most flourishing Kingdomes, England, Scotland, and Ireland, and the Ilands adioyning, out of the depth of Antiquitie: Beautified with mappes of the severall Shires of England: Written first in Latine by William Camden ... Translated newly into English by Philemon Holland ... Finally, revised, amended, and enlarged with sundry Additions by the said Author. Londini. Impensis Georgii Bishop & Ioannis Norton, M.DC.X.' ie 1610. The maps in the 1610 edition, the first in English, are the same as in the 1607 edition of Camden, but there is no text on the reverse. Published in 'Britain or a chorographicall description of England ... translated ... by P. Holland ... London. Printed by F. K. R. Y. and I. L. for Andrew Heb, 1637.' In the 1637 atlas the worn plates might be retouched, and some, including Westmorland, now have plate numbers. A crib to printings - 1607 latin text on reverse, no plate number; 1610 plain reverse, no plate number; from 1637 plate number. |
