Northampton Shire, 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 23 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
