195 x 205 mm., in good condition. 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. Harvey & Thorpe 17; Skelton 114.

Founded by the late Clive A. Burden in 1966, the company is one of the longest established dealers in antique maps, atlases, books and rare decorative prints. All items offered are fine original examples. Areas of particular focus are the British Isles and North America. Our stock dates from incunabula (pre-1500) to the late 1800s. We also carry decorative prints including botanical, bird, other natural history, architecture, in addition to Vanity Fair caricatures. Books include atlases, illustrated, and colour plate works. Philip D. Burden joined his father in the business in 1979. His interests included the British Isles and North America. He wrote and published in 1996 and 2007 the definitive two volume treatise entitled ‘The Mapping of North America’. This was the first work to list all known printed maps relating to North America up to the year 1700. Each fully described and illustrated. Clive A. Burden Ltd. is a member of the following organisations: the ABA (Antiquarian Bookdealers Association), ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers), and IMCoS (International Map Collector’s Society). …
