A fine, large map of Ireland with wonderful topographical detail, political boundaries, and place names throughout. Several interesting features are included, such as the ancient pilgrimage site at Saint Patrick’s Purgatory and a salmon fishery in County Mayo. The delicately engraved title cartouche features a harpist, a bull, and sheep.

References: Shirley (BL Atlases) T.SEN-2a #24.

Condition: B+

A nice impression with contemporary outline color in the map and later color in the cartouche, on a sheet with the watermarks of "AB" and a fleur-de-lis. There is light toning along the centerfold, light soiling, and a centerfold separation that just enters the map border at left. Remnants of hinge tape on verso.
