Beautiful map of the Hereford area is engraved with delicately rendered trees, mountains and towns. Malvern Hill is on the eastern edge of the map with Monmouth to the south. Ludlow is located in the far northern part of the map and Brestayne and Hay border the west. The map is decorated with a cartouche featuring shepherds and the scale of miles is attended by a surveyor and a pair of putti. The crests of prominent families are shown at top.
