One of only twelve county maps produced by William Smith, probably as the basis for an uncompleted English County Atlas. John Overton acquired Smith's plates from Peter Stent and included the maps in the five composite atlases that he published between 1670 and 1700. Overton's son, Henry, continued to publish the maps up until 1755. Uncommon.
