NORDEN John & William KIP.
Surrey.
This wonderful old map of Surrey comes from the third edition of Camden's Britannia. Part of the charm of this map are the (mis)spellings of the villages and county towns, which are depicted in red. All the numerous stately homes of the aristocracy, and their surrounding lands are highlighted. All decoration is mannerist in style, and there is an extensive explanation table to be found in the upper right corner.
Size: 300 × 375 mm. Framed size: 450 x 530 mm Copperplate engraving with hand colour. Presented in handmade wooden frame. Good condition, margins are very slim, slightly age toned. Folds. Some slight colour offset.
