Old Monochrome Map of Derbyshire, 1611 by John Speed - Derby, Chesterfield, Buxton, Peak District Size:12x16in (30x40cm) villages and cities in BedfordshireThis old, monochrome and wonderful map shows the ancient county of Derbyshire as it was in 1611. It was created by John Speed and engraved by Jodocus Hondius, and originally published in Speed's "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine". This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45. 5x61cm) and 24x36 inches (61x91. 5cm), but it looks even better when printed large. I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up
