This map of Great Britain was published during the reign of Charles II, which accounts for the lengthy dedication to him below the cartouche. The map is an English version of Sanson's French map published several years earlier. It has been substantially embellished with ships and sea monsters to cater to the English market which was more used to maps by John Speed and the Amsterdam School. This is further emphasized by the large cartouche on the upper left, incorporating the royal coat of arms flanked by two armoured figures. The engraver was Francis Lamb, a notable engraver of the period.
