Stunning copper-engraved "prospect" map of the city of Florence by Matthais Seutter, circa 1740.

This large and highly detailed atlas map from 1842 uses original outline colour to highlight the four historical provinces of Ireland (Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster) and within that the 32 Irish counties. The map uses haturing to show off the topography of the map in elegant detail. Below the map, a small informative icon of Ireland to illustrate the historical divisions and indicate colouring. In the upper right corner, the outline of the southern tip of the Mull of Kintyre (Scotland) and Port Patrick (Isle of Man), which also shows the "Steam Packet" ferry between Ireland and the Isle of Man.

Vintage English-language tourist map of the department of Gironde in southwestern France, with major focus on the famous wine region of Bordeaux.
