Description
One of the most decorative early maps of Surrey, engraved by Jodocus Hondius in 1610. Inset elevations of Richmond and Nonsuch Palaces, armorials, a compass rose and strapwork decorations add to its attractiveness.
By the 1627 edition the top left corner of the copper printing plate had snapped off, affecting the printed border: in this example the loss has been replaced with manuscript.
