The maps are known as "Speed miniatures" as they were published alongside Speed's "Theatre of Great Britain" by the same publisher, however most of the maps are printed from plates engraved by Van den Keere. Speed's involvement in the publication of these maps is thought to have been limited.

Anno cum priuilegio 1627 and are to bee sould by Georg Humble at ye Whithorse in popeshead Alley. Type: Antique "Speed miniature" map.
