An original antique, copper-engraved map of Bedfordshire with accompanying text below and on the reverse of the sheet. Originally published by John Seller in the late seventeenth century, this map was republished from 1773-1815 by Francis Grose in ‘The Antiquities of England and Wales’. This later version has a simpler title cartouche than the earlier Seller map published in ‘Anglia Contracta’ in 1694 and ‘Camden’s Britannia Abridged’ in 1701. The map itself measures approx 140mm x 120mm with the entire sheet measuring approx 200mm x 275mm, descriptive text verso.

The overall condition is excellent, there is a small nick to the top left edge of sheet, well away from the printed area. See photographs.
