[London] : sold by Abel Swale, Awnsham & John Churchill, [1695]. A rare separately published state of Morden's map of the islands - a composite map with eight separate images - of the Isle of Wight, Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, the Scilly Islands, the Isle of Man, Holy Island and Farne. Originally produced for the 1695 edition of "Camden's Britannia", but here dissected, mounted on linen, and folding into (eighteenth century) marbled guards, with a manuscript label. Morden's maps from this series have not previously been recorded in this form. On their first appearance they were advertised as being "much the fairest and most correct of any that have yet appear'd" and the help of "knowing gentlemen" in each part of the country had been sought "to supply the defects, rectifie the positions, and correct false spellings".
Copper line engraving on paper. Engraved surface 360 x 420mm (approx. 14-1/4" x 16-5/8"). Some mild tanning; faint wear to edges and folds, but in very good state for an ephemeral item of this type.
