Saxton & Hole: Map of Berkshire Ca. 1637

This map comes from William Camden’s publication “Britannia” which was a multi volume work on the topography and history of Great Britain, first published in 1586. Later editions included maps by William Hole or William Kip who based their maps on those of Christopher Saxton from about 1570. The engraved numeral lower left on this map dates it to the edition of 1637. Ryman & Co, Oxford label verso.
