An original copperplate, engraved map of the NORTH RIDING OF YORKSHIRE (The North Ridinge of Yorkshire), published in 1673 in Richard Blome's Britannia. The map is framed (450x390mm) and mounted (printed area 305x250mm) with later hand colour. The verso is blank. This decorative and impressive county map features a scrolled title cartouche with flowers, scale, compass rose ,and a dedication to Margaret Eure (with his coat-of-arms). The map contains a wealth of geographical detail including rivers, hills, towns, villages, estates and wapontakes (named in a key). The map, which is lightly toned (except for the area around the centre - due to protective guard verso), is otherwise in excellent condition. It will be sold out-of-frame to international buyers.
