A reproduction printed map of KENT (Kent with her cities and earles) by John Speed. The map was first published in Speed's Theatre of the Empire in 1611. This example is the rare Henry Overton edition published between 1710 and 1743. It includes the royal arms and seven coats-of-arms of nobility, a compass rose, mileage scale, and sailing ships on the Medway (Rochester inset plan) and on the coast near Sheerness. The boundaries and names of Kent's lathes are shown on the map and there are inset plans of Canterbury and Rochester. The map, which extends to the outskirts of London, shows towns, villages, hills, rivers and woodland, and for the first time on Speed's map of Kent, roads. This is a superbly detailed and popular map.
