This is the second Ortelius/Galle map of England and Wales, first published in 1595 by Galle, with text by Pieter Heyns and printed by Arnold Coninx. The map is a little less detailed than the first Ortelius/Galle map - here only the major towns are named and fewer rivers are shown. The title and mileage scale appear combined in the lower right corner. This finely engraved example has Italian text to the verso and dates from 1602.
