Notes:
Provenance: From the collection of George Legge, first Baron Dartmouth, 1648-1691 (see Sotheby's sale, March 8-10, 1948). Baron Dartmouth was Master-General of the Ordnance to Charles II and James II. His collection of maps was partly abstracted from Royal map collections, an arrangement described by Pepys in Bodleian Library MS Rawl. A. 171, 17r-20v. See also Skelton and Wallis. According to Skelton, the present map is "one of two items which can beyond reasonable doubt be identified with maps in the Royal Library catalogue" (of c. 1661-1666). It is numbered "24" in black ink, "vi.24.a" in graphite.
