Description

A very decorative map of Ireland which, despite the date, still uses the elongated mapping of Gerard Mercator. The elaborate title cartouche features Hercules standing with one foot on a prostrate harpy, the arms of William & Mary adorning an arch behind him. The scale cartouche depicts the Roman gods (including Neptune), around the Gaelic harp, and a volcano erupting behind. Koeman gives the original publication date as 1697.

Condition:

Binding folds flattened
