The large decorative hand coloured Title Cartouche of
PALKAART VAN'T CANAAL ENGELANDT SCHOTLANDT En YRLAND
Obscures much of the East Coast of England and Scotland.
The scene of this Title Cartouche was probably etched by JAN LUYKEN,
Who signed the title page of both of JOHANNES VAN KEULEN'S Atlases.
It presents a quaint British countryside scene
Of a Shepherd Boy with his Sheepdog and Picnic Basket
Surrounded by his Goats and Sheep
In a lovely pastoral landscape.
All this,
Plus much, much more . . . .
