Isle of Guernsey Antique Map by Seller after Speed. Francis Grose c1787

by Seller, John

Antique Map of Guernsey by John Seller after John Speed.

Late 18th century map 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 map appears above interesting historical information of the County. The engraved map is not exactly aligned with the text. The map is finely detailed of the late 18th century. We believe the map is often separated for framing, but we are able to offer the complete very interesting 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).
