AN ORIGINAL ANTIQUE ENGLISH MAP OF KENT BY PIETER VAN DEN KEERE
Copper engraved miniature map with hand colour, 17th Century
This is an original antique engraving, not a modern printed copy.
Framed and professionally matted, with a glass front - just ready to be hung or displayed.
A small, decorative map of Kent from Pieter van den Keere's 'England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland Described'. The miniature atlas, which was heavily based on John Speed's 'Theatre' (The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain), is generally referred to as a 'pocket edition' of Speed's atlas. In total, 63 maps were featured in van den Keere's atlas, those of of which were arranged in the same sequence as Speed's 'Theatre', and featured English text on the backs that was a word-for-word reprinting of the text featured in Speed's atlas. Although three editions of the atlas exist - 1627, 1632, and 1646 - the plates for the maps remained unaltered, although progressive wear and damage assists dating the editions. Whilst the plates were not reworked, the layout of the text on the reverse of the maps differed from edition to edition.

Including frame: 25 by 22.5 cm (9.75 by 8.75 inches)
Engraved area: 12 by 8.5 cm (4.75 by 3.5 inches)
