This decorative sheet contains two maps, a compass rose, and an interesting map illustrating "Geographical Terms & Figures exemplified & explained to facilitate the Study of Geography." The maps provide a detailed view of the coastlines from Portugal through the English Channel to Belgium. There is no engraver's imprint, but it was likely engraved by either Thomas Kitchin or Thomas Bowen, both of whom engraved for Millar's Geography.
