The Bishopprick Of Durham, an original antique map by P. Van Den Keere, published in London, 1627 -1666. A copperplate engraving, coloured. Map size 12 x 8.5 cm with a mount size of 27 x 22.5 cm. Pieter van den Keere (1571-1646) was an active Dutch engraver best known for his collection of pocket-sized maps of the British Isles, assembled in about 1605. The maps, reprinted by Willem Blaeu in 1617, were subsequently acquired by Speed's publisher George Humble in c.1620. Those plates which showed separate counties were re-engraved, with the titles now in English, & plate numbers added. For those counties previously combined on one sheet, Humble substituted new plates, depicting the counties separately. The atlas was known as the miniature-Speed & was frequently reprinted, from 1627 onwards, often to coincide with folio editions of Speed's maps. Van den Keere also engraved the plates for the miniature edition of Speed's Prospect, published in 1646. Van den Keere
- often known as Kaerius
- also engraved a large number of foreign maps at miniature, quarto & folio sizes & his plates were, in some cases, re-published well into the eighteenth century. This map is from a 1666 edition of the so-called miniature-Speed & shows the county of Durham. Antique maps from various original publishers are presented on the Stanford

Episcopaius Dunelmensis Vulgo The Bishoprick Of Durham, an original antique map by R. Morden published in London, 1695-1722-. Copperplate, coloured. Map size 43 x 36 cm, overall mounted size 58.5 x 52.5 cm. An attractive & popular map of Durham. Considering the popularity & success of Camden's Britannia, first issued with maps in 1607, it is surprising that it was not until the end of the seventeenth century that a new edition was prepared. Robert Morden (d.1703) was commissioned to engrave a set of county maps for Edmund Gibson's new edition. Morden's first series of maps were rejected as being too small, & these were later published in Morden's New Description & State of Engl&, first issued in 1701, & subsequently re-issued in Cox's Magna Britannia, in the 1720s. Morden finally produced a new set of maps on a larger scale which were used in Gibson's editions published in 1695, 1722 as here, circa 1730, 1753 & 1772. The maps were based on the most up-to-date surveys where available, although some drew on Saxton & Speed, & were engraved by Sutton Nicholls & John Sturt. The maps are plain & simple, invariably with decorative title surround, & charmingly engraved. Their detail, convenient size, visual attraction & antiquity make them among the most popular of all early county maps.

Durham, an original antique map by G. Cole / J. Roper published in London, 1810-1843. Copperplate, coloured. Map size 23 x 17 cm, overall mounted size 38.5 x 32.5 cm. This detailed map of Durham is from Dugdale's England & Wales Delineated. The map was drawn by G. Cole & engraved by John Roper for publication first in The Beauties Of England & Wales, issued in parts, from c.1804. Such was the success of the publication that the maps were re-used in other publications, as here. The maps show accurate geographical detail, including the turnpike, mail coach & principal roads, sites of Roman & other historical remains, as well as the seats of the nobility & the gentry, & market towns with their distances from London. The maps also show the division of the counties into hundreds or wapontakes. They are representative of the functional nineteenth-century approach to cartography, yet are not unattractive. Antique maps from various original publishers are presented on the Stanford ...
