Pictorial colour printed map drawn by Alfred Edward Taylor (1887-1895) issued by Pratt's Motor Oil Company as promotional advertising. Description of the main places on the map by S.P.B. Mais - Stuart Petre Brodie Mais (1885-1975) verso.
Inset plan: A Plan of the ISLE OF MAN
Describing the maps, S.P.B. Mais writes, "I have seldom, if ever, seen a happier blending of the artist and wit in a cartographer. They are jolly, they are informative, they are original, and they have a magic enticing quality about them..." 
Nicks to bottom edge but well away from the printed border, a very good clean example on heavy paper with a single centrefold only.
