Lot Essay

Chubb, p. 17: "Sixty-three maps, forty of which are reprints of Peter Keer's maps of 1599 issued at Amsterdam in 1617. Sixteen are newly engraved maps of some of the English counties which, in the earlier editions of 1599 and 1617, were grouped together, seven are additional maps... The title of the maps have, in every case, been put into English, otherwise the plates of the forty original maps are unaltered."
