Dear MapHisters, I am looking for the following map to reprint in a forthcoming publication: John Speed's "A new and Accvrat map of the World" (1651), in John Speed's "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain," 1676. The map needs to be (1) B&W, (2) in excellent condition, and (3) with sharp and reproducible definition/boundaries as far as "Australia" is concerned. It would also be useful if there were some way I could see the image before purchasing it, since it is imperative that the coast of Australia stand out as much as possible. I've tracked down some lovely copies of the map in color (in the NYPL, for instance, and online elsewhere). But I am trying as much as possible to replicate the actual map that inspired one of my poets. Does anyone/any collection own such a beast? Thanks so much, as always, for your time, consideration, and expertise. Adele
