Description
SAXTON, Christopher (c. 1540 – c. 1610).
Dorcestriae comitatus vicinarumque regionum nova veraq descriptio Anno. Dom. 1575.
Engraved map with original hand color. London: 1579.
15 7/8" x 21 1/4" sheet, 20" x 25 1/2" framed.
Double-page engraved map, large decorative title cartouche, ships, boats and sea creature in the sea area, Salisbury (with city diagram) added in a neat early hand. Part of Christopher Saxton’s Iconic Atlas of England and Wales. The atlas is of great significance to British cartography as it set a standard of cartographic representation in Britain and the maps remained the basis for English county mapping, with few exceptions, until after 1750.
