⚠A large blank white paper flap is pasted over the bottom third of the map, obscuring the geographic details for the southern portions of Ireland and England.

A hand-colored engraved map of the British Isles by Frederick de Wit. In the top-left corner is an elaborate decorative cartouche featuring cherubs, a seated female figure (representing Britannia) holding a scepter and orb, and two royal coats of arms. Below this cartouche sits a separate emblem featuring a crown and the initials "W R" (for William Rex). The top-right corner includes three inset maps showing the Faroe Islands, the Orkney Islands, and the Shetland Islands. The map is marked with a geographical grid of latitude and longitude. The surrounding seas are labeled in Latin and Dutch.
