John Norden
Map of Hampshire County, Britain/England, from Camden's" Britannia" in 1607

1607

About the Item

An early hand-colored map of Britain's Hampshire county, published in the 1607 edition of William Camden's great historical description of the British Isles, "Britannia". This map was drawn by cartographer John Norden (c. 1547-1625) and engraved by William Hole (active 1607-1624) and William Kip (c.1585–1618). Although Camden's "Britannia". was originally published in 1586, the 1607 version was the first to include British county maps, such as this one. This map includes text on the verso in Latin and no plate number, which is unique and only found on the 1607 version, as later versions had a plate number and did not have Latin text. This attractive hand colored map of Hampshire County, England includes a colorful compass rose in the lower right corner above the names of the cartographer, John Norden and one of the engravers, William Hole. A sailing ship and a sea monster are seen in the English Channel. A list of towns is present in the upper left. The towns of Winchester and Southampton are shown on the map, as is part of the Isle of Wight. The map is presented in a gold-colored wood frame with black trim and a cream-colored French mat. It is glazed front and back, allowing a view of the Latin text on the verso. The map is in excellent condition.

  • "February Bouquet" from 'The Twelve Months of Flowers' series by Robert Furber
    By Robert Furber
    Located in Alamo, CA
    This framed hand-colored engraving entitled "February Bouquet" is from 'The Twelve Months of Flowers' by Henry Furber, published in London in 1730 by Robert Sayer and John King. Each of the twelve hand-colored engravings in the book were produced from paintings by Pieter Casteels (1684-1749) and engraved by Henry Fletcher (1710-1753). The book featured twelve detailed engravings of seasonal plants in bloom in the form of a bouquet. More than 400 different species of flowering plants were included with each plant numbered and accompanied by a list of the corresponding species names. Thirty-five species of flowers are depicted in this engraving in a bouquet sitting in an ornate attractive bowl. A few of the flowers lie loose on a table. The flower species are listed in a table in the lower portion of the plate, along with the month that these flowers are in bloom. This colorful print is presented in a gold-colored wood frame with a cream-colored double mat with a heather green inner mat. The frame measures 23.5" High, 19" wide and 1.63" deep. There are a few small frame abrasions, but the print is in very good condition. Robert Furber...
