Dutch title across the top reads "von Engelandt".
A nice example with lovely full hand color; numerous important towns are symbolized by tiny cathedral symbols, then highlighted in red. We see a large portion of present-day Irish Sea with the coasts of Ireland and Wales as far north as the Isle of Man and south to St David's Head. Title sits within a strapwork cartouche as does the distance scale. Sheet measures c. 8 3/4" W x 6 1/2 " H, image area c. 7 1/2" W x 5 1/2 " H.
In VG+ to near excellent clean condition with superior full hand color. A desirable and lovely early 17th century map of this southern region in England from this scarce and now very expensive atlas.
