Description:
|
|
| Beautiful copper-engraved map of Ireland published shortly after the Restoration of Charles II. The style of engraving is charmingly crude compared to the leading European mapmakers of the day. Embellished with ships, a compass rose, and four coats of arms bearing dedications to important nobles with land in Ireland. [IRE2008] |
