Leicestershire, joan Blaeu c.1650
33436 Leicestershire, Joan Blaeu c.1650. Price: 42.00
LEICESTRENSIS COMITATIS. LEICESTERSHIRE
An engraved 17th century map of the county. The title is shown on a banner. A plinth displays an array of eight coats of arms of the nobility plus two blank shields. Scale cartouche with putti. Royal Arms and the Arms of England. 19 3/4 x 15 inches. Early hand colouring. This map has been laid down on thin card n the past. There are tape stains in the left and right blank margins. Where the right hand tape stain is there is slight evidence of an old single tear that extends 7 inches into the map area. This map is therefore being offered at a fraction of what a good specimen would be. I would suggest putting the map into a sunk mount that comes up to the neat line of the map thus hides the two brown stains. Once framed no one will probably know. But it will never be a worthless reproduction.

Otherwise good condition. This map has been taken straight from the atlas and therefore not previously offered for sale as a single map.
