Description

Bird's eye views of Southampton, which is over the Solent in Hampshire, and Newport, together with legends, are shown in the bottom corners. In between them a scale of English miles is illustrated. Along the right side of the map are the coats of arms of local nobility. All the settlements of the island have been shown, along with forests such as Kingswood and Avington, castles such as Sandown and Yarmouth, and other Wight landmarks, such as the Needles.
