Originally produced for a set of maps which appeared under the title “Anglia Contracta”, dated to between 1689 and 1694 by Skelton and generally ascribed to somewhere near the latter date. The maps in their original form were subsequently reissued a number of times between 1696 and 1711, with the present example dating from no later than 1697. Of extreme rarity with original colour.
Copper line engraving on paper. Original hand colour. Engraved surface 123 x 148mm (approx. 4-7/8” x 5-7/8”). A few faint marks and some mild tanning, but overall in very good and clean state. A guaranteed genuine antique map.
