This is a great English map covering from the Black Sea through Japan. It is filled with interesting explanatory notes including the note on the coastline above Japan that stretches eastward and off the map in the direction of America, "All this Coast, as well as that of Japon, are drawn after the Portuguese Charts, which are very different from the French Sr. Sansons." Two insets, both showing the region northeast of China, were compiled from two different Jesuit reports. The map is decorated with a fine title cartouche with the arms of the Duke of Gloucester, to whom the map is dedicated.
