A fine example of this map from Richard Blome's miniature series first published in 1681 under the title of 'Speed's Maps Epitomiz'd'. The plates for this were begun in 1667 and engraved at the same time he was evidently working on his folio 'Britannia'. Their early history is a mystery. For some unknown and much speculated reason they were not published until 1681. Blome was one of the earliest to finance his works by subscription. It was issued under the same title again in 1685, and as the 'Cosmography and Geography' in 1693 from which rare work this example comes. All these early editions are very rare.
