A good impression from an early edition of this famous and decorative cartes-a-figures from the first world atlas produced by an Englishman - John Speed's "Prospect Of The Most Famous Parts Of The World". Full length figures in national costume appear in panels on either side, while the upper border features views, or plans, of London, Paris, Rome, Venice, Constantinople, Prague, Amsterdam and Lisbon. English text on the reverse describes the continent.
