This beautiful map of Herefordshire is engraved with delicately rendered forests, parks, mountains, and towns. The map centers on Hereford and extends from Ludlow south to Monmouth and from Hay-on-Wye to the Malvern Hills, which are prominently depicted on the eastern edge of the map. There is a title cartouche at bottom right featuring shepherds and their flock, and a scale of miles at bottom left that is attended by a surveyor and a pair of putti. The crests of prominent families are shown at top right. Latin text on verso, published between 1646-59.
