De Insulis Britannicis, Albione, quae est Anglia & Hibernia
An unusual and misshapen woodblock map of Great Britain and Ireland with Scotland turned on its side, Wales and Cornwall enlarged and Ireland much reduced. Curiously, London, Oxford, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Waterford are the only cities marked on the map. Latin text below the map provides a brief history and description of the islands.
