Black Handmade Pocket Book

Christopher Saxton (c. 1540 - c. 1610) produced the first county maps of England and Wales. This pocket book is foilblocked with a town design emulating the Leeds image from the 1577 map of Yorkshire, and the lining paper reproduces a section of that same map from a surviving example.
