"A Generall Mapp of North Wales…", Blome, Richard

This rare map of northern Wales and Anglesey shows county boundaries, cities of various sizes, and pictorial representations of mountains and forests. It is highly decorative, with six elaborate coats-of-arms, one of which is flanked by sea monsters, a title cartouche featuring putti, and sailing ships in the Irish Sea.

Issued folding, now pressed with old color, light soiling, and a few tiny abrasions. There are archival repairs both to several small separations and holes along the folds and to a small crack in the right-hand sea monster caused by the oxidation of the green pigment. Margins are close at right and left, but still ample room for framing.
