"Tabula Novissima Accuratissima Regnorum Angliae, Scotiae Hiberniae", Seutter, Matthias

This large and decorative map of the British Isles first appeared in Seutter's Atlas Geographicus in 1720, and is here shown in the second state with the privilege "Cum Gratia et Privil S.R.I. Vicariatus, in partibus Rheni, Svevice, et Juris Franconici" along the bottom border. The title cartouche at top right features a portrait of George I surrounded by allegorical figures, and is balanced at top left with the shields of England, Scotland, and Ireland. An additional illustration at lower left containing four distance scales depicts the Stuart coat of arms.

An additional index sheet accompanies this map.
