Hertfordshire Antique Map by Seller after John Speed. Francis Grose c1787

by Seller, John

Late 18th century Antique Map of Hertfordshire from the "Supplement to the Antiquities of England and Wales" by Francis Grose Esq F.R.S. published in London between 1773 and 1787. Francis Grose retouched the plates that John Seller used in his "Anglia Contracta" (published in London circa 1697). Seller had used a scaled-up version of the county maps from John Speed's pocket atlas circa 1676.

The finely detailed map appears above contemporary and historical information of the County. The engraved map is not exactly aligned with the text on the same page. Each page is heavy grade paper, from the tall edition of this work.

Map size is 125 x 150mm (5 x 6 inches). Page size is 320 x 240mm (12.5 x 9.5 inches).
