With a complicated printing history, this is the first Italian edition (published in 1593) of the Ortelius/Galle miniature map of England and Wales. This is a strongly printed impression with clear detail. The map is oriented with north to the right of the page and includes a number of place names and other physical details, despite its small size. The Italian title appears above the map itself and the mileage scale is given in the lower right corner. Sailing ships are shown in the North Sea and in the Channel. An attractive, miniature map.
