- Notes:
- Roundel map of England and Wales. One of a series of five small roundel maps by Kip and Woutneel, executed ca. 1602. The other four comprise a world map, a Leo Belgicus map of the Low Countries, and maps of Europe and France. All five are copies of maps first executed by Jodocus Hondius in 1593. Kip's engravings vary in some details, such as lettering, the pictorial handling of sea areas, and depictions of ships and sea monsters.
"Saxton's general map has been squeezed within the double circular border carrying the title, cutting off parts of the counties of Kent, Cornwall and Northumberland. County names and the principal towns are marked; there is also a small scale and the Elizabethan coat-of-arms."--Shirley.
Appears in J. van Langeren's Direction for the English Traviller (1635, 1636, and 1643).
Title within double circular border.
