Description:
|
|
Large and elaborate county map of Suffolk with an exquisitely engraved view of the Abbey Gate at Bury St. Edmunds and a grand title cartouche. The county is divided into its hundreds, an ancient political subdivision originally derived from the amount of land required to support one hundred fighting men. The hundreds are listed in an index in the upper-left corner. Original hand-colour. [SUFFLK339] |
