John Norden's Map of Hampshire, 1595

This map of Hampshire by John Norden was first produced in 1595. The scale is 4 miles to 1 inch based on the old English mile which is 1.24 statute miles. 
It was engraved by Christopher Scwytzer but later modified by John Overton in around 1670. This print comes from the Overton Atlas, an untitled compilation of county maps published in various editions from about 1670-1700; it is described as state III of Norden's map.
