Norden 1607
|
|
|
Map, Hamshire, ie Hampshire, scale about 6 miles to 1 inch, by John Norden,
London, engraved by W Hole, 1607; published 1607-1637.
|
|
Published in 'Britannia, sive florentissimorum Regnorum Angliae,
Scotiae, Hiberniae, & Insularum adiacentium ex intima antiquitate Chorographica
descriptio: Nunc postremo recognita, plurimus locis magna accessione adaucta, &
Chartis Chorographicis illustrata. Gulielmo Camdeno Authore. Londini, Impensis
Georgii Bishop & Ioannis Norton, M.D.CVII.' ie 1607. |
|
The map is derived from a drawing made about 1595 for Norden's projected
'Speculum Britanniae' a Mirror of Britain whose patronage failed, and with it
the project. The original drawing was engraved earlier and possibly published
but is only known from later states published by Stent and by Overton; see
Norden 1595. |
|
The 1607 geography is the 6th and last Latin edition of Camden's Britannia, the
first with county maps although he considered maps as early as 1589; the maps
have Latin text on the reverse, Hampshire has pages 187-188; the geography has
an illustrated title page, and has a map of England in the Heptarchy; its size
is 8 1/4 x 12 1/2 ins. |
