A charming and uncommon miniature map of Britain. This map, based on the influential prototype of Georg Lily, is found published in various editions of Honter's "Rudimentorum Cosmographicorum". Considering the map's small size the block is crammed with details of a mountainous island with a number of placenames and numerous small ships illustrated in the surrounding seas.
