Herefordshire described With the true plot of the Cities Hereford as alsoe the Armes of thos Nobles that have bene intituled with that Dynasty
A nice example of this decorative County map by John Speed. Includes an inset plan of Hereford, 7 coats of arms, a battle seen from 1461 and inset of a globe maker. This example is from the rare late Overton edition of the Speed's Atlas. Old and somewhat faded color. A bit browned on the verso from an old framing, but in all a nice example, with wide margins. (London, 1710) [color: Hand Colored, size: 20 x 15 inches, condition: VG]
