A small scale county map of Kent, with a mile scale to bottom right. The plates for this series were originally printed for Seller's Anglia Contracta, c. 1697, as here. Francis Grose (1730-1791) later acquired the plates, had them slightly reworked, and reprinted them in his Antiquities of England and Wales, published between 1773 and 1787. John Seller (1632-1697), hydrographer to Charles II, James II and William II, cartographer and instrument maker, published an attractive series of county maps Anglis Contracta in 1694. The maps were re-printed in The History of England and Camden's Britannia Abridg'd. Over 80 years later the plates were used for Francis Grose's The Antiquities of England and Wales. Condition: Minor creasing to surface of sheet. Blank on verso. |
