Camden’s Britannia title page


The title page to the 1607 Latin edition of Camden’s Britannia,
engraved by William Hole.

Stated to be available via Wikimedia Commons as (CC0 1.0).
The original owner of the image is not given.

On closer inspection (see the version in the British Museum Collection), the map in the centre of the title-page is Roman, or rather Celtic, Britain. The image immediately below it has Stonehenge in the background, and two people immersed in what looks like a Roman bath in the foreground, with what looks like another bath in the middle distance.

Close window to return.
