SPEED, John. Cornwall A hand coloured engraved map from Speed's 'The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain', with inset view of Launceston, large strapwork cartouche and compass rose, Latin text to the verso titled 'Cornwallia sive Cornubia', framed and glazed, 41cm x 53cm, John Sudbury and George Humble, London, 1616. As this map lacks Irish or Virgivian Sea below the cartouche of Launceston and the fact there is Latin text to the rear, it indicates that this plate was published pre 1623 and was therefore published in 1616 (Quixley and Quixley. 'Antique Maps of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly,' p.35). A vibrant example in vg condition.
