Antique Hand Coloured 17thC Christophorus Saxon Map of Bedfordshire Dated 1610
This map is based on Christopher Saxton's original surveys, who was the first to create a comprehensive atlas of the English counties.
This version was engraved by William Kip and published as part of William Camden's influential work, Britannia, which was a detailed topographical description of Great Britain.
The map bears the Latin title "BEDFORD Comitatus olim pars CATHIFUCLANORUM," translating to "County of Bedford, formerly part of the Catuvellauni"
It's an early and detailed map of the county, featuring decorative elements such as a compass rose and a decorative cartouche, and often displays later hand-colouring.
The frame measures approx 52.5 x 46cm has the usual fading etc commensurate with a map which is 400 years old
