FA1998.69:-
|
Map, copper plate engraving, Angliae Regni, Kingdom of England, with Wales,
scale about 24 miles to 1 inch, authored by Humphrey Lloyd, Denbigh, Clwyd,
drawn and engraved by Abraham Ortelius, Netherlands, 1573.
|
|
County boundaries are not shown, but Hampshire can be seen clearly in its
setting of southern England.
|
|
The colouring is believed to be original; the text on the reverse is in Latin;
the error in the numbering of the scale line puts this map as one of the first
version; the reference book about Ortelius's maps gives the scale as 1 to
1150000; to calculate the scale from the scale line would need the size of the
"milarium Anglicorum";
from measuring positions of half a dozen major towns on the map the scale is
better estimated as 1 to 1520000, ranging from say 1 to 1.46 to 1.59 million.
