A set of landmark maps from Speed's 'Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World', the first English atlas of the world. The world has decorative borders illustrated with the Elements, etc., and each of the continents has costume vignettes down each side and prospects of famous cities along the top. Complete sets of these decorative maps are becoming increasingly uncommon.
