Published in the first edition of John Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine... by John Sudbury and George Humble, 1611 (actually published in 1612).English text verso with the initial woodblock letter 'G' by printers William Hall and John Beale. Reasonable margins all round, a few marginal repairs with archival tape to a few minor tears outside printed area and a repair to bottom centrefold split (approx 6cm) but it remains a fine hand coloiured example from the first edition of this very decorative map of Gloucestershire with insets of the town plans of Bristol and Gloucestershire.
