Striking map of Warwick, with with inset plans of Coventry and Warwick, from the rare Latin edition of Speed's early atlas of Great Britain. 

Engraved by Jodocus Hondius. From Speed's The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine, the Latin edition is arguably the rarest of all editions, being produced for the overseas market.
