Camden's Britannia

A striking, hand-coloured, engraved title page adorns the 1610 first edition in English of William Camden’s ‘Britannia’, a landmark of historical scholarship. The names of the ancient British tribes can be seen on the map of Britain and there are miniature views of Stonehenge and Bath at the foot of the page.
