William Camden (1551 - 1623), historian and antiquarian first published his 'Britannia', a description and history of Britain, in 1586. The book was republished many times over the next 150 years. The 1607 edition was the first to contain a series of county maps, mostly engraved by William Kip and William Hole and based mainly on the work of Christopher Saxton. This map comes from the 1637 edition.
