A beautiful map of Worcestershire, coloured by the hundreds of the county. Cartouche at upper right, scales at lower left. The 1695 edition of Camden's Britannia was the first edition to contain Robert Morden's beautiful county maps. Morden went to considerable trouble to make them as accurate as possible, and they were the first county maps to include roads. Copper engraving. Original outline colour. Fine condition. Printed on thin paper, narrow margins. Size: 43 x 36 cm.
