Bedfordshire in a series of colourful reproductions of attractive county maps by John Speede from about 1610-1611, printed on thick art paper and ideal for framing. Each title, 58 x 45cm / approx. 23” x 18”, is decorated with additional notes, drawings, coats of arms, street plans, etc.

Little drawings are used to show locations of towns, larger villages, hills and woodlands or parks. Rivers and lakes are also drawn, as are boundaries of the administrative subdivisions with the names of the Hundreds.

Surrounding the county are decorative panels filled with additional information which differs from title to title: street plans, coats of arms of notable local families, geographical features, notes about local history, etc.
