Note:
1 map : copperplate engraving on 6 sheets, hand colour. Oriented with north at the right. Arms of the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland in the top left corner, suspended on ribbons issuing from the longitude bar. Inner title in the bottom left corner of the map, in a confidently etched cartouche decorated with a ram's skull and two tiger heads, which support a seated wingless putto. Crowned arms of France, Flanders, the Dutch Republic and Norway along the bottom edge, over the appropriate territories. Inset map of Denmark at the bottom edge of the map, also oriented with north at the right. The framing cartouche is adorned with the arms of Christian IV of Denmark (?) and Allardt's imprint. Scale bars in the bottom right corner, in a cartouche adorned with two putti and a ram - a counterpoint to the ram's skull in the opposite cartouche. Map surrounded by three descriptions of Britain, in English (left), Dutch (bottom), and Latin (right). This is one of two surviving copies of what was only the third wall map covering the entire British Isles, which appeared almost a century after the first (Mercator, 1564). As Rodney Shirley has noted, Allardt used engravings by Stefano della Bella as source material for the designs of his cartouches. The distinctive tiger's heads above the title, for example, are based on an illustration from the fourth and final plate of a series of animal heads by della Bella, which was published by Pierre Mariette I sometime around 1641.

Pub Note:
The Klencke Atlas resides at the British Library and we are grateful to them for providing scanned images of the atlas and complete catalog metadata as part of a joint project to scan and catalog the maps and atlases from the low countries of Europe that are part of the King George III Topographical Collections. From the British Library description: "The Klencke Atlas is one of the world's biggest: it measures 176 x 231 cm when open. It takes its name from Joannes Klencke, who presented it to Charles II on his restoration to the British thrones in 1660. Its size and its 40 or so large wall maps from the Golden Age of Dutch mapmaking were supposed to suggest that it contained all the knowledge in the world. At another level, it was a bribe intended to spur the King into granting Klencke and his associates trading privileges and titles. Charles, who was a map enthusiast, appreciated the gift. He placed the atlas with his most precious possessions in his cabinet of curiosities, and Klencke was knighted. Later generations have benefited too. The binding has protected the wall maps which have survived for us to enjoy - unlike the vast majority of other wall maps which, exposed to light, heat and dirt when hung on walls, have crumbled away. Titled 'Orbis Terræ Compendium, Carolo Secundo dedicatum a I. Kliencke. i.e. a Collection of Maps by Blaeu, Hondius, Visscher, &c. One Volume 5 feet 10 inches by 3 feet 2 inches."
