"Les Isles Britanniques qui Contiennent les Royaumes d'Angleterre, Escosse, et Irlande Distingues en Leurs Principales Provinces Subdivisees en Leurs Shireries ou Comte...", Jaillot/Elwe

Jan Elwe's edition of Jaillot's fine map of the British Isles was issued nearly 100 years after it first appears, affirming the quality of the map. The title cartouche is embellished with putti, Neptune, Mercury, and other allegorical figures. A large inset details the Shetland, Faroe, and Orkney islands. This last state of the map is very scarce.
