A very decorative map with the large title cartouches, coats of arms and inset plans that distinguish Speed county maps. Includes inset of Breknoke with the coat of arms for James Butler, Earle of Breknoke and three other coats of arms, plus an early battle scene. Imprint of Henry Overton at the White Horse without Newgate, London. Most likely published in a composite atlas by Overton, circa 1710-40
