A hand-colored engraved map spanning a two-page spread, depicting the western portion of the Kingdom of England and the whole of Wales. The map features detailed topography, including rivers, hills, and numerous settlements. County boundaries are outlined in vibrant hand-applied colors. In the lower-left corner, a large, ornate cartouche contains the title and a comprehensive list of the counties shown, flanked by mythological sea figures including tritons, river gods, and putti. The seas are labeled "IRISH SEA" and "BRITISH SEA" (English Channel). At the bottom center, a scale bar is provided with text in Latin. The Isle of Man is labeled "MONA I." in the upper left.
