This handsome map shows the peninsula of Achaea, an important region in Greek history. The map is based on the work of Sir George Wheeler, an amateur botanist who traveled extensively in Greece and published an account of his experience, A Journey into Greece. At top right a Greek woman points to the legend, while several Greek men adorn the title cartouche.
