"Carte Generale des Royaumes d'Angleterre, Escosse et Irlande...", Jaillot, Alexis-Hubert

This uncommon and elegantly engraved map of the British Isles is teeming with the names of towns and cities. It delineates counties and features some topographical detail, most notably in the Scottish Highlands. Hadrian's Wall is depicted graphically. An inset at top left details the Shetland Islands. There are two baroque-style cartouches, one for the title, the other for the imprint.
