Ireland. Lafrieri (Antonio, school of), Hybernia nunc Irlant, Rome, circa 1570, uncoloured engraved map on laid with watermark, large margins, 345 x 255 mm (Quantity: 1) A. & C. Bonar Law, The Printed Maps of Ireland to 1612. P10i. The third (of three) Lafreri maps of Ireland, in its first state. The later states have an attribution to the engraver (Claudio Duchetti, Antonio Lafreri's nephew), added below the mileage scale and open dividers. The cardinal points are now in Latin, indicative of a Roman copy and the map is decorated with two sea monsters and a large sailing ship. The map is a great deal more advanced compared to the earlier Lafreri maps of Ireland with Connaught better emphasised and many more towns and the names of the provinces now included. Rare.
