Wales by John Speed, circa 1620
John Speed is considered to be the most important figure
in early British mapmaking. His hand-coloured maps with their vignettes
of town plans and important buildings of the time are much sought after
by collectors. This scan from material kindly supplied by Joseph Rapoport
of Albuquerque, New Mexico ( jr@thuntek.net
) who has eight 1st edition museum quality framed maps available for purchase.
