Very unusual map of the British Isles with insets of the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. The Western Hemisphere shows the Island of California and a partial coastline of New Zealand. The Eastern Hemisphere shows only part of Australia. The large map of Britain is nicely detailed and the sheet includes numerous tables of relative information. At top left and right are the royal coats of arms of Britain, England, Scotland and Ireland.
