Britannia (atlas)

Wenceslaus Hollar / Public domain · resizedfile

Britannia is the title of each of three atlases created in England between the late 16th and mid 18th centuries, describing some or all of the British Isles. These are the books published by William Camden (in 1586, reprinted in 1693) and Richard Blome (in 1673) and John Ogilby (in 1675). Of the three, Ogilby's is probably the best known as it was the first to use measured distances.
