|
|

Christopher Saxton, 1575, published by Philip Lea, London, about 1689 and 1693,
then Willdey about 1732, Jefferys about 1749, Dicey about 1772.

Christopher Saxton Being the Best and Original Mapps With many Additions and
Corrections by Philip Lea. Sold by Phillip Lea at the Atlas and Hercules in
Cheapside near Friday Street and at his Shop in Westminster Hall near the Court
of Common Pleas where you may have all sorts of Globes Mapps &ct.' about

Saxton Being the Best and Original Mapps With many Additions and Corrections
Viz: ye Hundds, Roads, &c. by Philip Lea. Also the new Surveis of Ogilby,
Seller, &c. Sold by Phillip Lea ...' about 1693. |
|
Lea's alterations are part of a continuing process of enriching Saxton's plates,
and altering Latin to English, this began about 1665 though the plates were not
printed then; the additions are mainly from Speed's map. |
|
Changes made to the plate by 1665:- coat of arms of Elizabeth I and the title
cartouche replace by an inset map of Winchester; 5 coats of arms added below the
scale - Clinton, Saer Quinsey, Hugh Spencer, Lodo. Bruget - Earls of Winchester
and William Paulit Marquess of Winchester; 4 coats of arms - Bevois, William
Fitz William, Thomas Wriotheosley, Earls of Southampton, plus 1 blank, and the
arms of Charles I, replace Seckford's; dividers removed from scale line; new
title HAMPSHIRE; hundreds added; index letters across top and down left side
added; extra place names in adjacent counties added. |
|
Changes by 1689:- roads are added; settlement symbols have marks, cross for
markets, crowns for parliamentary boroughs, mitres for bishoprics. |
|
This is one of the earlier maps of Hampshire to show roads. |
|
Changes by 1693:- coat of arms of Cha. Fitz Roy D added in the blank
shield. |
|
The 1693 map now has the coat of arms of 'Cha. Fitz Roy D.' |
|
The 1693 atlas has a map of the Isle of Wight, islands of Portsea, Hayling, and
Guernsey and Jersey 'which are in Hampshire' |
|

Nouvelles tres Exactes Des provinces, Duches, Comtes, & Baronies du Royaume
d'Angleterre. Le tout Enrichi des Plans des Villes & des Armes de la Noblesse.
London, Par P. Lea.' about 1693. |

Published in 'The Shires Of England And Wales Described by Christopher
Saxton Being the Best and Original Mapps With many Additions and Corrections
Viz: ye Hundds, Roads. &c. by Philip Lea Also the New Surveis of Ogilby. Seller.
&c. ... Sold by Geo: Willdey at the Great Toy, Spectacle, China-ware, and print
Shop, the Corner of Ludgate Street near St. Pauls London.' about 1732. |

|
Published in 'The Shires of England And Wales ... Sold by Thomas
Jeffreys, Geographer to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales; in Red Lyon
Street near St. John's Gate. ...' about 1749 |
|
The maps remained available up to 1766; a catalogue of Jeffreys's stock included
'Saxton's Counties, being the Oldest Maps of England extant, ...', this an early
example of trying to sell obsolete stock by their antiquarian interest; the
Willdey imprint is erased. |
|
Published in an atlas and as a loose sheet by Cluer Dicey and Co,
London, about 1772 |
