THE SMALLER | ISLANDS | in the | BRITISH OCEAN | By Rob^t Morden | Sold by Abel Swale | Awnsham and John Churchill.

Copper engraving produced by Robert Morden for publication in Edmund Gibson's translation of William Camden's Britannia first published by Abel Swale and Awnsham & John Churchill in 1695. 
Gibson's Britannia was republished in 1722, 1730, 1753 and, finally in 1772. The maps were updated for the 1722 edition, mostly with changes to place name spellings and the plates were reworked for the 1753 edition due to wear caused by the printing process. 
This map of the British Islands is from the 1753 edition and includes corrections and additions to place names on the south east of the Isle of Wight.
Printers crease adjacent to bottom centrefold but it is still a very good example in fine later hand colour.
