A detailed, hand-colored copperplate engraving of a map showing the eastern and southern portions of the Kingdom of England, including the coastline and the English Channel. The map features a large decorative cartouche in the upper left corner depicting Neptune with his trident, a seated woman holding a young child, and a cherubic figure, all set against a rocky maritime background. The counties are outlined in various colors and labeled with both Latin and English names. An inset or continuation at the top right shows the neighboring coast of France (Pas de Calais). The map is oriented with North roughly to the top, and a coordinate grid is present in the margins.
