(Englsh traslation can be supplied) Grande carta geografica dell’Europa di mm 1260x1500 complessivi, suddivisa in 24 sezioni ognuna di mm 320x245, montate su tela. Incisione in rame, dipinta d’epoca. Grande cartiglio figurato assai fascinoso in basso a destra. La carta è dedicata al consigliere reale Joseph Banks. Interessante carta considerata all’epoca come una delle più aggiornate. "The Arrowsmith output was prodigious: clarity and accuracy were his aims—and he achieved them as no other English cartographer was able to before him. His maps are still essential to historians who want to delve into the history of 18th-century exploration in the Pacific" (Tooley, Landmarks, 98). Ottime condizioni, presenta una lieve tonalità gialla dovuta ad un sottile velo di vernice protettiva.
