Engraved by Jacob Florensz Van Langeren and first published in A Direction for the English Traviller by which he shal be inabled to coast all about England and Wales... London, Matthew Simmons, 1635. The distance tables were copied from the inventor of the tables, John Norden who published them in his England: An Intended Guyde, For English Travailers... Invented & Collected By John Norden. London 1625. Matthew Simmons publication included the addition of small thumbnail maps of the counties which were copied from a set of playing cards by William Bowes in 1590. With fifty two counties in England and Wales a pack of playing cards presented a neat way of depicting each county. Simmons included compass directions after the place names on the table which gave an approximate location by referring to the thumbnail map. Simmons re-issued his work twice more in 1636, the second publication of this year included the addition of distances from London along the diagonal of the tables. Thomas Jenner published another version of the tables in 1643 with a slightly larger map, this time copied from the general map in John Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain London 1611. Small old repair to bottom margin. Very nice copy of a very scarce map. Centrefold as issued.
