This matched set of 8 miniature maps comprise the entire section on England and Wales from Bertius' geographical treatise. Each map is beautifully engraved with a strapwork title cartouche and moire-patterned seas. While the majority of the maps for Bertius' geographical treatise were engraved by Jodocus Hondius Jr. after Mercator, the individual maps of England, Scotland and Ireland were engraved by Salomon Rogiers after John Speed.
