Map on four sheets (dimensions for each sheet), each further titled at bottom with "Europe" and Plate I through IIII. Kitchen has borrowed extensively from the work of d'Anville, Robert de Vaugondy and other eminent geographers of his time, to produce this highly detailed four-sheet map of Europe. Named places are shown in abundance and boundaries are included. An interesting pictorial cartouche in the first plate shows a seaman with an anchor, maritime paraphernalia and a ship in the background. The maps have their own borders and were not intended to be joined.
