Description:
|
|
| Splendid decorative map of Great Britain enlivened with a variety of vignettes and cartouches. Original hand colouring.
Magnae Britanniae et Hiberniae Tabula: Hondius' Great Britain is dominated by battling galleons and mermaids holding the flags of England, Ireland and Scotland. The rich old colour dramatically emphasises the decorative features of this map. [Shirley "Earley Printed Maps of the British Isles" no.345] |
