The map shows extensive and attractive detail in the region, with cities and towns shown throughout and walled forests shown. Ipswich is the only city shown in this agricultural part of England, and early roads are shown.
Decorative elements on the map include a compass rose, two sailing ships, and coats of arms of important Suffolk citizens.
Condition Description
Original hand-color in outline, with later hand-color on the cartouches. Nice wide margins. Minor soiling stain in the lower portion of the map.
