Harrison, this ink and color masterpiece on vellum measures an impressive 67.2x64.1 cm and is currently housed in His Grace The Duke of Norfolk's collection at Arundel Castle. The map holds a rich history as it was once owned by Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel and Surrey (1585-1646) along with his wife Aletheia Talbot (c. 1582-1654). It also served as the residence for Anne Dacre (1557-1630), Countess of Arundel during her final years alongside her husband Saint Philip Howard.
