Map, hand coloured etching, A Mapp of Hantshire, ie Hampshire with the Isle
of Wight, scale about 4 miles to 1 inch, by Richard Blome, about 1673.
|
|
Bloome's maps, published in his Britannia of 1673, were based on Speed's maps of
1611.
|
|
The plates were etched, some of them by Wencelaus Hollar, instead of the more
usual copper plate engraving.
|
|
Bloome was an entrepreneur, skilled in attracting sponsors for his publications;
he even used interchangeable coats of arms for different editions of his maps;
this map is dedicated to Charles, Lord St John.
