[MAP]. [BLAEU, Johannes (1596-1673)]. Suthsexia; Vernacule Sussex. [Amsterdam, ca. 1645 or later]. Hand-colored map (later hand-coloring) of Sussex with several hand-colored coats-of-arms, including those of King Charles I, the old Plantagenet coat of arms (first used by Richard the Lionheart), and 4 noble coats-of-arms. Sight approximately 14 ¼ x 19 ¾”. Matted and framed under glass. Frame size approximately 19 ¾ x 25 ¼”. Map toned, with 1 vertical crease at center. Very good. This map first appeared in Blaeu’s 1645 atlas of England. Like most of the maps in that atlas, it was copied from John Speed’s Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine (1611-12).
