This elegantly engraved map presents a very detailed look at the western counties of England and Wales. It extends from Nottingham, Oxford, Winchester and the Isle of Wight west to Wales, Cornwall and the eastern coast of Ireland. The map is densely filled with villages, towns, fortified cities, rivers and pictorial topography. The decorative title cartouche at top left shows mermen frolicking with young maidens. This is the fourth state of the map, published by Covens & Mortier.
