A spectacular map of Ireland based on Visscher's similar map, but with entirely original decorations. The title cartouche supports the royal British arms and the large pictorial cartouche at bottom presents a bucolic scene of Mercury with herdsmen, shepherds and fishermen and supports the Irish coat of arms.
