An original Speed map of Wales, dated 1610. (For details and information about Speed maps see Wikipedia or several auction houses). This copy of a Wales Speed Map was given to the Puget Sound Welsh Association in circa 1985 by Mr. Trevor Thomas, a native of Wales living in Seattle. It has been examined by Mr. Brendan Moss, Vancouver B.C. who confirms that the map is original and colored, but not unique, there are a number in existence. It is in good condition but has some flaws, especially a thin patch on the left page and some seam tears. The rear of the map carries historical information about Wales that is difficult to read without magnification. The recommendation was that normal care would be sufficient for display, the value ( which was around $300 in 1986) was not enough to warrant high level conservation. In 2018, the map was donated to the Welsh Heritage Project of Wymore Nebraska for their display, with recognition of its provenance. (web site below). Date of production an estimate
