This handsome map of Britain is based on Blaeu's similar map. An inset of the Orkney Islands is enclosed in a strapwork cartouche and the map is beautifully embellished with the royal coat of arms, sailing ships, a compass rose and a garland draped title cartouche. Merian's signature is at bottom right.
References: Shirley (BI to 1650) #489; Shirley (BL Atlases) G.MERI-23a #87.
Condition: B+
A nice impression with a few small spots of foxing. The map has been trimmed to the neatlines and pasted onto a sheet of old paper.
