SPEED, John. A New and Accurat Map of the World. London: George Humble 1626 [1627]. Single sheet (414 x 539 mm). Engraved map (top edge trimmed closely affecting border, small repair to fold on verso, some light browning). Twin-hemisphere map of the world, state 1, decorative borders incorporating polar celestial hemispheres, medallion portraits of the first four circumnavigators (Magellan, Drake, Cavendish and Van Noort), allegorical figures of the four elements, and diagrams of solar and lunar eclipses. From Speed's Prospect of the most famous Parts of the World first published in 1627. The engraver may have been Abraham Goos, who engraved other maps in the Prospect. The map is principally based on William Grent's world map of the previous year and on Jodocus Hondius's world map of 1617.
