Original map from British Library Cotton MS Julius D VII, fol. 49v (cf [1]; discussion from p.[2]).
This file from Magnoliabox (webpage, file).
Note that the map is misidentified by Bridgeman [3] as coming from BL Cotton MS Claudius D VI, fol 12 v. That is not correct, as that reference is for a different map by Matthew Paris.

The map is now bound separately as Cotton MS Julius D VII/1 held at the British Library.
