On the French side the towns marked include Calais, Montreuil, St Valery, Dieppe, Le Havre, the Seine (as far as Rouen), Caen and Port-en-Bessin.

Movntgomery Shyre, Cardygan Shyre & Radnor Shyre from Michael Drayton's fantastical poem, the Polyolbion. The Poly-Olbion is divided into thirty songs, written in alexandrine couplets, consisting in total of almost 15,000 lines of verse. Each song describes between one and three counties, describing their topography, traditions and histories. Copies were illustrated with maps of each county, drawn by William Hole, whereon places were depicted anthropomorphically. (thanks, Wikipedia). 430 x 350 mm overall in the ivory bevelled cut mount. The printer was careless with the freshly pressed sheet resulting in some ink marks, mainly in the lower right portion of the map. See images.
