"Tabula Novissima Accuratissima Regnorum Angliae, Scotiae Hiberniae", Seutter, Matthias

This large and decorative map of the British Isles first appeared in Seutter's Atlas Geographicus in 1720, and is here shown in the second state with "Sac. Caes. M. Geogr." added in the title cartouche. The cartouche features a portrait of George I surrounded by allegorical figures, and is balanced at top left with the shields of England, Scotland, and Ireland. An additional illustration at lower left containing four distance scales depicts the Stuart coat of arms.
