An outstanding 18th Century map of Britain with great detail and an inset of the Shetland Isles. Includes part of France, Belgium and Holland. The large, colorful title cartouche is very decorative. Nice impression and later color. Expertly backed with Japanese tissue to repair fold separation and repair one tear, now invisible.
