This attractive engraving shows the county of Cornwall with political districts delineated, along with an inset of the Isles of Scilly off Land's End. The map shows quite a bit of detail including roads, rivers, mountains and includes numerous notes about important towns in the county. The map is adorned by a decorative title cartouche reflecting the rich wildlife, agriculture and mining resources in the area. An additional cartouche dedicates the map to Richard Edgecumb, Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall from 1742-58.
