"Owen and Bowen" double-sided road map from "Britannia Depicta or Ogilby Improv'd; Being a Correct Coppy of Mr. Ogilby's Actual Survey of all ye Direct & Principal Cross Roads in England and Wales. . . ." Page is approximately 5.5" x 8" (14 cm x 20 cm). Print is approximately 4.5" x 7.25" (12 cm x 18 cm).Title and distances between principal towns are shown inside a rather elaborate cartouche at top of the map. A map of Somerset Shire (and text describing the county) occupies the lower 2/3s of the page. Road map segment is on the reverse. Very nice copy, unsullied by modern color as is often the case. Clean with very little wear. Very slight toning at page edges.
