(Eeprinted about 1671 and at some later date, which I am unable 
to fix.) 
1671 (?). Taylor, Thomas. 8£ X 5f . Scale, 6 miles = 
1 inch. Engraved by Wenceslaus Hollar [1670 or 1671]. 
Shows hundreds (indicated by numbers referring to list in 
margin), rivers, towns, villages, houses, woods, and hills. A well- 
filled and artistic map. 
In left top corner, on a cloth suspended on three nails at the 
corners and in the middle of the top, “ A Mapp of the County of 
Hertfordshire with its hundreds,” and two lines erased of which the 
top one reads “ By Rich. Blome.” To the right and slightly below, 
a circular indicator of the north. In the- left-hand bottom corner 
a rectangular upright panel in two compartments; in the top 
compartment a list of the hundreds numbered 1 to 8. The bottom 
panel is plain, and evidently there has been a large erasure. 
Against the foot of the panel on the map, “ W. Hollar fecit.” In 
right bottom corner a scale of miles. This map is numbered 17 
in the right-hand top corner.

There are 41 maps, numbered consecutively, in this work. They 
are variously dated from 1667 to 1671, many of them being 
“ printed for Ric. Blome,” and engraved by Hollar. 
According to Gough’s ‘ Anecdotes of British Topography ’ 
Hollar engraved a smaller map of Herts in 1670,* and this map 
published by Taylor seems to be a reprint with an original 
dedication erased and the number 17 added. 
There is a subsequent impression, of which a copy exists in 
Mr. Evans’ collection, in which the Old North Road from Enfield 
to Royston, with branches from Hoddesdon to Hertford and from 
Puckeridge to Cambridge, and the Great North Road from Barnet 
to Baldock and beyond, with a branch to St. Albans, bifurcating 
thence to Dunstable and Luton, are inserted. 
1673. Blome, Bichard. 13 x 10. Scale, 3 miles = 
1 inch. 
A very poorly drawn and sketchy map, showing hundreds, 
rivers, towns, villages (with churches), beacons, parks, woods, and 
hills. In left top corner escutcheon with crowned and supported 
coat of arms, and below, “ To the Rt. Honeble James Cecill, Earle 
of Salisbury, Yisct. Cranborne, Ld. Cecill of Essendon Etc. This 
Mapp is Humble Dedicated by Ric Blome.” In right top comer,
