@bibliolater @histodon @histodons -- sorry to be that guy, but this is a printed map, with hand-applied water color.

@mhedney The description says that the image is provided by the University of Exeter, Special Collections should some one tell them?

@bibliolater @mhedney The hand drawn is wrong but the description states that the map is taken from Saxtonโ€™s atlas

@rmathematicus @bibliolater well, no. Itโ€™s a we
All map compiled from the maps in Saxtonโ€™s 1579 atlas, but the map itself not in the atlas โ€ฆ unless itโ€™s the one-sheet, then all bets are off

@mhedney @bibliolater Exactly that map, but differently coloured, is the first map in my facsimile copy and the introduction by William Ravenhill says it should be there! It has the index to the atlas in the upper left corner
