This attractive map of Suffolk is divided into "Hundreds," an old English term for an area that would support a hundred families. It is densely filled with details including major roads, villages, churches, and castles. Text surrounding the map discusses the history of the Earls and Dukes of Suffolk, the seats of Nobility, and other historical and geographical notes. Decorated by a pastoral-themed title cartouche and rococo-style dedication cartouche.
