This is a large hand-colored 17th century map of England and the British Isles by Frederick de Wit entitled "Accuratissima Angliæ Regni et Walliæ Principatus", published in Amsterdam in 1680. It is a highly detailed map of England, Scotland, the Scottish Isles, the Isle of Wight and eastern portions of Ireland. The colorful cartouche in the upper right includes two putti holding a banner with the title of the map and de Wit's name and additional little angels are holding a colorful royal coat of arms.
The map is presented in a large attractive brown wood frame with red interior trim and gold highlight along the forward edge. The frame measures 35" high by 10.5" wide and 2" deep. There are a few small spots and some discoloration related to color transfer occurring over its centuries within an atlas. less
