From the 1620 Italian edition of "L'Isole Piu Famose Del Mondo ...", Porcacchi's map of the British Isles is set within a page of text. The map is shown with north to the right of the page and is carefully and delicately engraved by Girolamo Porro. Porcacchi has used George Lily's outline of the British Isles as his model. The title is supported by mermaids while sea monsters swim in the surrounding seas.
