The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, but their intricate depiction of England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland is truly awe-inspiring. The map not only highlights the main regions but also includes various islands off the coast that are mentioned in R. M. Lockley's book "Islands Round Britain". As we explore this historical snapshot, our eyes wander across the coastline to spot notable places such as Holy Island, the Farne Islands, Mersea, Canvey and Sheppey. Further out at sea lie enchanting locations like Isle of Wight, Isles of Scilly, Lundy, Skomer, Anglesey, the Skerries - each with its own unique charm.
