About this sheet

This antique map, titled "Les Royaumes d'Angleterre d'Escosse et d'Irlande," offers a detailed view of the British Isles, including England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Additionally, a portion of the coastline of France and the Netherlands is depicted. The map is relatively small in size but provides intricate geographical information. Flanking the map are panels that list the ancient kings of Scotland on the left side and the kings of England on the right side, concluding with King George I. This historical map, originating from Jacques Chaquet's "Le Nouveau et Curieux Atlas Geographique et Historique" in 1719, offers insights into the geography and history of the British Isles during that era.
