Description
Relief shown pictorially. Map is oriented with North to the right. Vignette in lower right corner shows three portraits of royalty and two birds with flowers in their beaks, around text, "Ea insula quae hodie duo Regna, Anglicum nempe & Scoticum continet, cum Hibernia illi ab Occidente opposita, e insulis circumjacentibus, ut sunt Orcades, Hebrides, Mondvectis & ceterae, a veteribus communi olim vocabulo Britannicae appellatae fuerunt; nmine uti videtur sumpto ab earum maxima, quam singulariter Britanniam dixe: re. idque ab ejus genuino et antiquissimo autochtho: num vocabulo Prydain, ut Humfredo placet." Coat of arms in the upper left corner, and scattered through the sea are drawings of ships, people or mermen waist-deep in the water blowing shells, and a woman and man holding a trident and riding a reined hippocamp.
