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.
