A spectacular two-sheet map of Ireland

A large and decorative map of Ireland, from Mortier's issue of Jaillot's 'Atlas Nouveau', with fine baroque title and scale cartouches and an inset showing Ireland's position it relation to the rest of the British Isles. It is based on Sanson's map, which Jaillot had redrawn on a larger scale at the request of Sanson's heirs. Bonar-Law states that Paris editions by Jaillot did not contain this map. The use of Paris in the address is believed to have been used to avoid taxes.
