This rare and terrific bird's-eye view of the English coast spans from Southampton to Hastings and extends inland as far as London and its suburbs. The Isle of Wright is depicted in its entirety as well. The sea and landscape are illustrated in a fine graphic style. Railroads are shown connecting the various town and cities, and castles, race courses, and other attractions are located. No artist or publisher is indicated on the map, but it is possible that this was a promotional item issued by one of the British railways.
