Gerard Mercator is probably only second to Ptolemy in his influence on the development of cartography. This map has a strong impression with a highly decorative strapwork title cartouche and a large amount of detail of Elizabethan Britain.

The map is in excellent condition with wide margins and no discernible faults apart from some very minor browning at the margin edge (well away from the plate area). The shadow at the centrefold is caused by flash photography.
