Coloured state 1 map of the county of Hertfordshire from the 1607 Latin edition of Camden’s Britannia. Initially issued in 1607, Britannia was the first publication that contained a complete set of individual county maps of England and Wales. The county maps in Britannia were based on the work of Christopher Saxton and John Norden and were engraved by William Hole and William Kip. A description of the county appears on the verso in Latin. Other than minor professional repair to the top margin, the map is a dark impression in excellent condition. 28 cm x 34.5 cm
