Book Description

Copper-engraving, 15 x 20 inches. Double-sided with English text on verso. Hand-coloured. The bottom right corner of the map depicts the City of Colchester, within elaborate scrolling conveying the town’s Roman heritage with illustrations of Roman coin heads. The prosperous town is shown in some detail with its castle, churches and dwellings. Along the left side of the map are the Coats of Arms for the various Earls of Essex: Mandevill; Bohun; Woodstock; Bourchier; Cromwell; Parr; D’Eureux.

Condition A good example. The central fold has been strengthened on the verso. There are barely noticeable holes along one crease due to age, but that do not affect the legibility of the map.
