[engraved by Pieter van den Keere.]
[London: George Humble, c.1627.]
Engraved map. 90 x 120mm (3½ x 4¾"). Trimmed within plate at bottom, a little surface soiling at bottom edge, mounted on album paper on left. Very small tear bottom centre.
A miniature map of Middlesex, engraved by Pieter van den Keere sometime after 1599 but first published in a county atlas by Willem Blaeu in 1617. In 1627 the maps were published with English titles engraved instead of the Latin ones, in a miniature atlas, ''England Wales Scotland and Ireland Described and Abridged With ye Historie Relation of things worthy memory''. Although the maps were engraved before John Speed's atlas, the maps gained the nickname 'miniature Speeds' because Humble (son of Speed's original publisher) used an abridged version of Speed's text for the miniature atlas.
