This densely detailed map shows all of the roads, post roads, cities and market towns throughout England and Wales with distances noted between cities, and is based on John Adams's distance map from 1677. While the title and publisher's imprint are in English, the legend is in Dutch. The map was sold by Nicolas Visscher in Amsterdam and by John Overton in London. The superb title cartouche features putti and the royal arms. A dedication to William III appears below the title.
