The rare Latin-text edition of Speed's map of Montgomeryshire

SPEED, John.

Montgomery Shire.
London, John Sudbury & George Humble, 1616, Latin text edition. 385 x 510mm.

An early impression with good margins.

Engraved by Jodocus Hondius, this is one of the most decorative maps of the county, with an inset plan of Montgomery, armorials and a compass rose.

This example comes from the only non-English edition of Speed's Theatre, produced for the Continental market. Its lack of success makes it comparatively scarce: it was only after 1918 that the British Museum obtained a complete Latin volume.

CHUBB: xxiv; SKELTON 11.
