These maps are the first county maps where each county is delineated on a separate sheet. They were prepared by William Kip and William Hole for William Camden’s famous work , Britannia and were based on the maps of Saxton and Norden and the Anonymous William Smith series. There were three editions: 1607, 1610 and 1637. See Skelton, County Atlases Of The British Isles 6.
