"Isles Britanniques", Duval, Pierre

This miniature map of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland depicts major towns and key topographical features. Two tiny inset maps feature the Shetland Islands and the Channel Islands. This is the second state with some nomenclature added. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson's nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson.
