Northamptonshire Owen Bowen circa 1720 - Original Map

Britannia depicta or Ogilby improv’d;

being a correct coppy of Mr. Ogilby’s actual survey of all ye direct & principal cross roads in England and Wales: wherein are exactly delineated & engraven, all ye cities, towns, villages, churches, seats &c. scituate on or near the roads, with their respective distances in measured and computed miles. [...] The whole for its compendious variety & exactness, preferable to all other books of roads hitherto published or proposed; and calculated not only for the direction of the traveller [as they are] but the general use of the gentleman and tradesman.

Condition,

A couple of small tears in the left hand margin and just into the decorative edge
