Description

An interesting late 17th century hand coloured map of Wiltshire by Robert Morden which appeared in Camden's Britannia (London: Swale, Awnshaw & Churchill, 1695). The maps are also notable for using up to three different mileage scales. It is probable that this map is first edition of 1695 as it has a number of discrepancies that were corrected for the next edition of 1722; for example, Berwick Saint John is described as 'South Berwick'. On laid.

Condition

With some creasing and tears to the edges, the largest measuring 2cm. There are also a number of wormholes to the lower edge, as shown. There is scattered foxing across the page.
