"Camden's Britannia" is a series of topographical and historical steel engravings by the Scottish artist William Brassey Hole (1846–1917), created to illustrate an 1890 edition of William Camden's "Britannia." Camden's "Britannia," first published in 1586, is a landmark historical and chorographical work that provides a detailed survey of the geography, history, and antiquities of Great Britain and Ireland. Hole's engravings, which were produced towards the end of the 19th century, visually complement Camden's descriptions of the British landscape and notable historical sites.

William Brassey Hole, trained at the Royal Scottish Academy, was known for his landscape and genre paintings, but he gained significant recognition for his illustrative work in "Camden's Britannia." His engravings are characterized by their meticulous detail and historical accuracy, reflecting the Victorian interest in the nation's past and the romanticization of its landscapes. Hole's contribution to the 1890 edition of "Britannia" not only served to embellish the text but also to provide a visual narrative that helped readers of the time connect with Britain's historical and geographical heritage.

The collaboration between Hole's artistic vision and Camden's scholarly work resulted in a publication that was both educational and aesthetically pleasing, making it a valuable collector's item and an important document for those interested in the intersection of art, history, and geography during the Victorian era. The illustrations in "Camden's Britannia" remain significant for their portrayal of the British landscape and historical sites at the close of the 19th century, offering insights into the period's cultural and artistic values.
