The success of the folio edition of John Speed’s atlas led the publisher George Humble to consider publishing a miniature version. In the early 1620s he acquired a series of 44 copper plates engraved by Pieter van den Keere which had remained unpublished until Willem Blaeu published an edition of William Camden’s ‘Britannia’ in 1617. For Humble’s first edition in 1627 he expanded the number of plates to 63, one of which is this reduction of the folio map of the islands. It includes Holy Island (Lindisfarne) and the Farne Islands to the left side, both off the coast of Northumberland. On the right side are the two main Channel Islands of Guernsey and Jersey. The folio map is the first reasonably accurate map of Jersey to be printed. Whilst there is some loss of detail, the parish boundaries remain. Entitled ‘England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland Described’, it would come to be known as the ‘miniature Speed’. Various editions up to 1676 were published. This example is from the 1646 edition published by William Humble following the death of his father in 1640. King (2024) Humble 1619; Shirley (2004) T.Kee 1f; Skelton (1970) no. 37.
