Title and Publication: The full Latin title is typically "Magna Britannia complectens Angliae, Scotiae et Hiberniae Regna..." (Great Britain encompassing the Kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland). It was published in Nuremberg as part of Homann's Atlas Novus Terrarum.
Content: The map depicts England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, delineating provinces and counties with topographical features, towns, and cities.
Decorative Elements: A notable feature is the elaborate allegorical title cartouche, often located in the upper right, which may include a portrait of Queen Anne and other illustrative elements praising her role in uniting the kingdoms.
Historical Context: The map highlights the political union of Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland) following the 1707 Acts of Union.
