This is a superb, classical Dutch map of England and Wales showing immense detail of the cities and towns. Hadrian's Wall crosses from Solway Firth to Newcastle near the border with Scotland. The map is adorned fine title cartouche suspended within a cloud background encircled with putti and the royal coat of arms of England. This is the fifth state, with a different title from the first four states (Anglia Regnum in Omnes Suos Ducatus, Comitatus, et Provincias Divisum).
