Shows towns, villages, hundreds (the names being indicated by num- 

 bers), hills, enclosed parks, and rivers. 



Top left-hand corner, an ornamental cartouche enclosing the title. 

 There is evidence of Kichard Blome's name having been erased from the 

 title and replaced by a double twisted line. Below the title is a small 

 compass rose, and a cartouclie with the arms of Thomas Thinn and dedi- 

 cation " To the WorshipfuU Thonjas Thinn, of Long Leate, Esqr. This 

 Mapp is D D by R. B." Bottom left-hand corner, "A Table of the 

 Hundreds in Wilt Shire," numbered 1 to 29. 



Bight-hand bottom corner, the scale, and " B. P." sculp. 



R. B. no doubt stands for Richard Palmer, an engraver and stationer, 

 who lived in Fullwood Rents, Holborn, and engraved maps for John 

 Seller. His dates range from 1667 to 1705.

A reprint of Jansson's map of 1646 with Jansson's name expunged 

 and that of " B. Schenk et G. Valk " substituted, and the addition of the 

 words '' cu Priv." The back is plain. 



Pieter Schenk, an engraver and publisher, was born at Elberfeld in 

 1645. He connnenced business as an engraver of topographical works, 

 in which he was assisted by Gerard Valk, who afterwards taught him the 

 art of mezzotint. In 1683-4, Schenk and Valk became partners, and it is 

 difficult, after that, to distinguish their individual work. Augustus II., 

 Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, appointed Schenk engraver to his 

 court. Schenk died at Amsterdam about 1715. Schenk and Valk were 

 succeeded by R. and J. Ottens. 



Strutt, in his Biograpldcal Dictionary of Engravers,^ London, 1785, 

 vol. 2, page 373, under the heading "Gerard Valk," says : "He worked 

 some time for David Loggan and he also assisted Peter Schenk in Pub- 

 lishing the large Dutch Atlas in two volumes, 1683." Eol. 



This is probably the original from which was printed the Atlas 

 Anglois, ou Description Generale de V Anyleterre ... a Zondres, 

 chez Joseph Smith . . . 1724. Fol. 



I am unaware of the existence of a copy of this atlas of 1683.
