Lancastria Palatinatus
Handsome Dutch Golden Age map of Lancashire, with a decorative title cartouche, two sailing ships, and the coats of arms of important nobles.
The geography of the map was based on John Speed's map of 1611 but the decoration and aesthetic appeal is very much Blaeu's own.
Dutch text on verso. Splendid original hand colour. [LANCS518]
