Description:
Copper-engraved map, hand-colored, two uncolored pictorial cartouches. 47.7x59 cm. (18½x23").
Jan Elwe's publication of Hubert Jaillot's fine map of the British Isles, ssued nearly 100 years after it first appeared, affirming the quality of the map. The title cartouche is embellished with putti, Neptune, Mercury and other allegorical figures. A large inset details the Shetland, Faroe and Orkney Islands. This last state of the map is very scarce.
